Abstrak





The golden apple snail (Pomacea canaliculata) is an invasive species that damages rice fields and aquatic ecosystems in Sentani Lake, Papua, Indonesia. Its uncontrolled population threatens local agriculture and biodiversity while remaining an underutilized food resource. This community service project aimed to reduce snail abundance and empower local residents by transforming the pest into a nutritious product. A training program was held on 15 May 2025 in Yoka Village, Jayapura City, involving 13 women participants. The activity included preparation, counselling on ecological impact and nutritional value, hands-on pilus-making practice, mentoring, and evaluation. Before training, all participants recognized golden apple snails only as basic dishes such as grilled or stewed meat. Afterward, every participant could identify at least one new processed product, particularly pilus, followed by cireng, tofu meatballs, and otak-otak, and all successfully produced pilus snacks. The program enhanced practical skills, introduced new microenterprise opportunities, and demonstrated an ecologically sustainable way to control pest populations. This approach offers a replicable model for integrating food innovation, nutrition improvement, and rural entrepreneurship in regions facing invasive species challenges.
