feared to damage other ecosystems. Moreover, the concept of the rules is part of
their cosmology as a way of life, values, and spiritual beliefs. The implications
of environmental conservation values have so far been residing in the logical
consequences of the Bajo tribal guards. While the non-logical consequences of
pamali must be appreciated as spiritual values from the Bajo. Therefore, there
needs to be an effort to provide an understanding that the concept of Pamali has
educational values for the preservation of marine and coastal ecosystems, which

Since ancient times, the tradition has never faded in the Bajo people, namely
the duata tradition. According to the beliefs of local residents, the duata were
gods who descended from the sky and became human. The duata tradition is the
culmination of all efforts of traditional Bajo tribal medicine. This habit will be
carried out if one of them experiences severe pain and can no longer be cured by
other methods including medical treatment. While undergoing a two-treatment
procession, a number of traditional elders usually gather in a room and concoct a
type of ritual complement, such as colorful rice, incense, betel leaf, coconut, and
banana. Meanwhile, the people to be treated were taken to the sea accompanied
by songs from the Bajo community, namely lilligo and ngigal dance. Finished
from the sea, sick people and traditional elders meet in the original place and
treatment takes place. Not limited to treatment, the duata tradition can also be
done in thanksgiving and celebration events. Duata is also held when welcoming
guests.

ceremony can provide a sense of security and comfort to its followers. The beach
area according to them is a sacred place, and before carrying out their daily activities, they always hold rituals for their safety in carrying out their daily activities.
Some of the ceremonial rituals that take place aim so that what is done can run
well without any significant obstacles. In addition, the implementation of a religious
ritual as mentioned above is interpreted as a form of gratitude to the Almighty God.
The form of ritual ceremonies starts from the life cycle ritual rites such as the ritual
ceremonies of birth to the ritual of death. Besides that, ceremonies related to the
existence of ancestral spirits were also carried out. With this belief, every movement
and pattern of community behavior is strongly influenced by the superstructure or
ideology espoused primarily in the concepts of local knowledge in dealing with its
natural conditions. Every step in the life of the Bajo tribe through traditional ceremonies is always sacred; this indicates that there is a connection between religious
elements that are mutually integrated in an integral unit so that there is harmony in
the community.
