. Development of Wasur National Park can drive the economy, improve local and national images, improve public welfare through purchase of local product, open jobs and increase regional income. Tourism sector will be an effective means. The research type was descriptive by using qualitative approach by analyzing SWOT strategy, analysis diagram and determination of strategic initiative priority. There were four results. The alternative SWOT strategy referred to diversification or integration strategy diagram at quadrant IV : S-O (strength and opportunity) Strategy, inventory of potentials of natural and human resources to support research and education as well as culture; S-T (strength and threat) Strategy, Having fauna tourism potential and local village areas to support community economy for environmental conservation.; W-O (weakness and opportunity) Strategy Improvement of human resources of local village; W-T (weakness and threat) Strategy Requirement for work group guidance for local community in the conservation area to facilitate supervision and utilization of human resources in the conservation area. The strategic priority to start was cooperation with related party to improve very low range of control of related institutions. Use strategy to reduce carbon emissions conservation area and neighboring areas conservation city merauke particularly affected direct against urban development
