Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore information about community exceptions in the study area for the preservation of natural orchids. This type of research is descriptive using survey methods by conducting interviews and distributing questionnaires to explore information about the needs of the community related to the conservation of natural orchids. The results revealed that basically the community around the Mallawa Resort area was familiar with natural orchid plants (65.93%) but knowledge of natural orchids and their preservation was still lacking (38.27). Generally, people have a caring attitude towards the existence of natural orchids (68.52%). This can be seen from the orchids that are owned by the community generally comes from nature (50.62%) and have been able to develop them (46.91%). The conclusion illustrates the need for an activity to preserve natural orchids through the development of a training model for the community around the study area.
