These results indicate that the flora group is easily recognized by the respondents, while the reptiles are a less well-known group. Many flora groups are well-known because the flora is widely used by people such as the species of pine, orchid, and fern. Nevertheless, more than 70% of respondents apparently did not know that of the several species (47 species) were protected species. Respondents only know 6 (six) protected species and especially from fauna groups, including javanese hawk eagles, whreated hornbill, langurs, porcupines, anteaters, and python.
