This paper investigates the sustainable living methods and traditional knowledge of the Jah Hut community in Kuala Krau, Temerloh. One of the indigenous Orang Asli subgroups in Peninsular Malaysia, the Jah Hut people have a tight interaction with their surroundings using subsistence agriculture, forest resource use, and traditional handicrafts. Using a qualitative ethnographic method, the data were gathered from field observations and semi-structured interviews with three main informants: a bamboo harvester, a rattan weaver, and a village leader. Results show that bamboo and rattan crafts, especially lidi sticks used in food preparation, reflect both cultural legacy and significant revenue sources. Reflecting the dedication of the community to food security and environmental sustainability, traditional farming methods, including rice growing and empeng (pounded rice) preservation, are shown. The neighborhood, however, struggles constantly with things like restricted access to markets, healthcare, and formal education. Health issues related to long-standing cultural traditions like betel nut chewing also add to the complexity of development initiatives. While preserving the Jah Hut's cultural legacy, the research emphasises the need to support indigenous livelihoods employing inclusive policies, sustainable agricultural initiatives, and better healthcare access.
