environment in meeting their daily needs. In utilizing natural resources, the Bajo
people still apply traditional methods that are environmentally friendly and proven

Global climate change has directly affected the microclimate, which has been a
reference for indigenous peoples and coastal communities/Bajo tribes to plan activities in order to fulfill their needs. The real impact of climate change is felt when
they are facing the planting season, harvest season, and the season to go fishing. The
uncertainty of the seasonal calendar due to a time shift has caused crop failures and
fishermen from the coastal/Bajo tribes have to cancel due to extreme weather conditions which could endanger their lives if forced. Another impact that will be caused
by changes in global climate is the increasing frequency of droughts, floods, and the
