Penelitian lebih lanjut dapat dilakukan untuk menggali lebih dalam mengenai faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi tingkat kesadaran masyarakat terhadap pentingnya hutan, seperti pengaruh pendidikan formal, paparan media, dan pengalaman langsung dengan alam. Selain itu, studi komparatif antara generasi muda di Jembrana dengan daerah lain di Bali atau Indonesia dapat memberikan wawasan mengenai perbedaan dan persamaan dalam persepsi mereka terhadap isu konservasi hutan. Terakhir, penelitian tindakan (action research) dapat dilakukan untuk menguji efektivitas berbagai program pendidikan lingkungan dan pemberdayaan masyarakat dalam meningkatkan kesadaran dan partisipasi aktif dalam upaya pelestarian hutan, dengan fokus pada pengembangan model-model kemitraan yang berkelanjutan antara pemerintah, organisasi non-profit, sektor swasta, dan masyarakat lokal untuk memastikan pengelolaan hutan yang bertanggung jawab dan berkelanjutan bagi generasi mendatang.
