Context and Purpose:The present study aimed to investigate the influential factors affecting public engagement and willingness towards collaborative conservation in Salouk National Park. Methodology:The research population included villagers and village officials of Sarmaran. Data collection was carried out through documentary methods, field visits, interviews, and questionnaire completion. The sample size was determined using theoretical saturation and a collective method, and it was systematically selected for surveying. SPSS software was employed for data analysis. Findings: Findings indicated no significant difference in social participation between genders. A moderate correlation was established among variables such as participation, park-centric conservation efforts, economic status, rural social interactions, and community cohesion. Conversely, a negative correlation was observed between age and participation. Overall, individuals exhibited enthusiasm for project involvement, where factors like project economic viability, education, and occupation significantly influenced community management dynamics. Conclusion:However, addressing conflicts between local communities and the national park necessitates strategic planning, incentivizing policies, socio-economic prioritization, and concerted efforts towards collaborative conservation and robust governance frameworks.
