Conservation character is a basic need to improve the condition of the nation today. It is consisting of three activities, namely protection, preservation, and sustainable use.

Three major impacts of the program were the change of residents’ character from indifferent into willing to cooperate; economically providing employment opportunities through tourism programs; and change the community environment to be cleaner and beautiful. It is recommended that Kampung Pelangi to be a rule model for socio-cultural and conservation character improvements.
