Abstract

This study describes the plant-biodiversity conservation behavior among natural science and social science university students. It was conducted using survey questionnaire techniques. The instrument in this study contained statements regarding conservation behavior towards plant biodiversity. The instrument indicator was based on the principle of Conservation Law No. 5 of 1990, namely: 1) Protection, 2) Preservation, and 3) Utilization. The instrument showed that all items were valid and reliable. The data was analyzed descriptively. The result indicated that students, in general, had good responses to plant-biodiversity conservation behavior. Plant-biodiversity conservation behavior was good, with natural science students more inclined towards it than social science students. University students also had the same average percentage in each of the conservation indicator. Conservation plant biodiversity is very important to be improved to preserve environmental sustainability. This research recommends that social science students must also learn about conservation behavior to support environmental sustainability. © 2021 Penerbit UMT. All Rights Reserved.
