PenyukuApp: Nagaraja Conservation Platform

PenyukuApp is a conservation platform developed to enhance digital support for the Nagaraja turtle conservation efforts in Cilacap. The platform focuses on improving public access to conservation information while digitizing data management processes that were previously handled manually through physical records.

By transforming manual data recording into a structured digital system, PenyukuApp helps conservation teams manage data more efficiently and accurately. Beyond conservation authorities, the platform also enables the community to actively participate in conservation efforts by providing transparent access to turtle-related information. This approach addresses the need for data transparency and encourages broader community involvement in supporting turtle conservation initiatives.

Challenges

The main challenge was transitioning from manual, paper-based data recording to a reliable digital system without disrupting existing conservation workflows. Another challenge was providing transparent and accessible conservation data to the public while maintaining clarity and usability for both conservation teams and community members.

Solutions

A centralized digital platform was developed to manage conservation data and publish relevant information to the public. The system digitized data recording processes, allowing conservation teams to input, store, and manage data more efficiently. Public-facing features were implemented to ensure transparency and enable community members to access information related to turtle conservation and actively support conservation efforts.

Outcomes

The project successfully delivered a digital conservation platform that replaced manual data recording with a structured and centralized digital system. The platform streamlined data management for conservation teams and improved access to conservation-related information for the public.

Impact

PenyukuApp strengthened data transparency and community engagement in Nagaraja turtle conservation efforts. From a technical and social perspective, the platform demonstrated how digital systems can support environmental conservation by improving operational efficiency, data accessibility, and public participation.
