History
Jatiluwih’s terraced irrigated fields are part of Bali’s traditional subak water-management system and were inscribed as a UNESCO cultural landscape for this communal agricultural practice.
Conservation
The subak system balances water use across communities; visitors are encouraged to stay on paths, avoid litter, and support local guides and farms to maintain both landscape and livelihoods.
