Deforestation and climate change pose significant challenges to environmental sustainability and social well-being, particularly in border areas of indonesia-malaysia where ecological balance is crucial. The Dayak people's attachment to their land is manifested through ecological citizenship practices aimed at fostering environmentally friendly state border areas. This study explores how Dayak communities utilize traditional ecological knowledge and practices to contribute to the establishment of sustainable border regions. By integrating indigenous wisdom with modern environmental conservation efforts, the Dayak people play a crucial role in shaping policies and practices for building ecologically resilient state borders. Through an examination of their place-based connections and ecological stewardship, this research sheds light on the significance of indigenous contributions to environmental sustainability and border area development. The findings of this study highlight the effectiveness of indigenous ecological citizenship practices in promoting sustainable development goals (SDGs) in border areas, particularly in terms of biodiversity conservation, community empowerment, and cultural preservation. The implications of this research underscore the importance of recognizing and integrating indigenous knowledge systems into policy frameworks and development strategies to achieve SDGs related to environmental protection and social equity in border regions. © 2026 Author(s).
