Community Engagement

His community-service publications focus on mangrove-dependent communities in Riau — including digital-marketing training for a mangrove products group in Bengkalis and a website-based branding initiative for mangrove-derived products (both 2025, see Publications). He has also contributed to broader community programs, such as plastic-waste management training and food-security outreach at local schools (2019–2021).
