Literasi konservasi lingkungan menjadi semakin penting dalam pendidikan tinggi akibat tantangan lingkungan global seperti perubahan iklim, hilangnya keanekaragaman hayati, dan pemanfaatan sumber daya yang tidak berkelanjutan. Terlepas dari urgensi tersebut, pendidikan lingkungan di universitas masih didominasi oleh metode pengajaran konvensional yang sering kali membatasi keterlibatan serta pemahaman kontekstual mahasiswa. Integrasi teknologi pembelajaran digital menawarkan peluang untuk menciptakan pengalaman belajar yang lebih interaktif dan bermakna, yang dapat mendorong kesadaran lingkungan serta perilaku berkelanjutan. Program pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan literasi konservasi lingkungan di kalangan mahasiswa MAHSA University melalui penerapan media pembelajaran berbasis Augmented Reality (AR) dalam kerangka kerja sama internasional antara Universitas Galuh dan MAHSA University. Program ini menggunakan pendekatan partisipatif berbasis teknologi yang mencakup koordinasi kelembagaan, pengembangan modul AR, sosialisasi, pelatihan, implementasi, pendampingan, dan evaluasi. Efektivitas program dinilai melalui observasi keterlibatan peserta serta penilaian pre-test dan post-test. Program ini berhasil diselesaikan dengan menunjukkan hasil positif, baik dari aspek pendidikan maupun kelembagaan. Literasi konservasi lingkungan meningkat sekitar 28%, sementara lebih dari 80% peserta terlibat aktif dalam kegiatan pembelajaran dan lebih dari 75% berhasil mengoperasikan aplikasi AR secara mandiri setelah pelatihan. Luaran tambahan yang dihasilkan meliputi modul pembelajaran AR, dokumentasi kegiatan, kerja sama kelembagaan melalui MoU/MoA, serta draf publikasi ilmiah. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa media pembelajaran berbasis AR efektif dalam meningkatkan literasi konservasi lingkungan, memperkuat keterlibatan serta kompetensi digital mahasiswa, dan mempererat kerja sama akademik internasional dalam memajukan pendidikan yang berorientasi pada keberlanjutan.
