Abstract

Penyu belimbing Pasifik (Dermochelys coriacea) merupakan spesies penyu terbesar di dunia yang saat ini berstatus terancam punah dengan tingkat penurunan populasi yang signifikan. Kawasan Taman Pesisir Jeen Womom di Bentang Laut Kepala Burung, Papua Barat, menjadi salah satu lokasi peneluran terpenting di Pasifik Barat. Meskipun berbagai upaya konservasi telah dilakukan oleh LPPM Universitas Papua melalui program Science for Conservation, masih terdapat keterbatasan media edukasi yang sesuai bagi anak-anak usia 6–12 tahun. Media buku pembelajaran konservasi yang tersedia masih bersifat satu arah dan ditujukan bagi fasilitator sehingga anak-anak belum dapat terlibat secara aktif dan mandiri dalam proses pembelajaran konservasi. Oleh karena itu, kerja sama antara UNIPA dan DKV ITS bertujuan merancang salah satu luaran media berupa buku cerita edukasi konservasi penyu belimbing yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan anak usia 6–12 tahun, kontekstual dengan budaya lokal, serta mudah diakses di wilayah pesisir Papua Barat sebagai media penunjang kegiatan konservasi penyu belimbing. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode perancangan desain komunikasi visual. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui studi literatur, studi eksisting dan komparator, observasi, tahapan eksperimental, wawancara mendalam (depth interview), serta evaluasi hasil rancangan desain bersama target audiens. Hasil perancangan ini berupa tiga seri buku cerita edukatif yang mengangkat kehidupan penyu belimbing, lumba-lumba, habitat, ancaman, serta tindakan konservasi melalui narasi dan ilustrasi yang disesuaikan dengan karakteristik lokasi konservasi. Perancangan ini diharapkan dapat menjadi media penunjang kegiatan konservasi bagi anak-anak pesisir sejak dini sekaligus memperkuat peran desain komunikasi visual dalam mendukung upaya pelestarian penyu belimbing Pasifik di Papua Barat.

The Pacific leatherback turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) is the world's largest sea turtle species and is currently classified as endangered due to its significant population decline. The Jeen Womom Coastal Park in the Bird's Head Seascape, West Papua, is one of the most important nesting sites in the Western Pacific. Although various conservation initiatives have been implemented by the Institute for Research and Community Service (LPPM) of the University of Papua through the *Science for Conservation* program, there is still a lack of educational media suitable for children aged 6–12 years. Existing conservation learning books are primarily designed for facilitators and employ a one-way learning approach, limiting children's active and independent participation in conservation education. Therefore, the collaboration between UNIPA and DKV ITS aims to develop an educational storybook on leatherback turtle conservation that meets the needs of children aged 6–12 years, reflects the local cultural context, and is easily accessible in the coastal areas of West Papua as a supporting medium for conservation activities. This research employs a qualitative approach using a visual communication design methodology. Data were collected through literature reviews, existing and comparative studies, observations, experimental stages, in-depth interviews, and evaluation of the design outcomes with the target audience. The resulting output consists of a three-book educational storybook series that presents the lives of leatherback turtles, dolphins, their habitats, threats, and conservation actions through narratives and illustrations tailored to the characteristics of the conservation area. This design is expected to serve as an effective supporting medium for conservation education among coastal children from an early age while strengthening the role of visual communication design in supporting the conservation of Pacific leatherback turtles in West Papua.
