Abstract

The Biodiversity Conservation Project in Indonesia was started under cooperation with JICA in 1995. In the project research site, Gunung Halimun National Park, field-based research was conducted using a research station to provide basic information for developing management plans for the park and conserving biodiversity. The Cikaniki Research Station (Cikaniki RS) had some obstacles such as access, maintenance cost, user fees, and support systems. However, more extensive research work could improve the situation of Cikaniki RS and contribute to the local economy. In addition, local people and park managers are expected to be involved in management and promotion of research work. The review of the project indicates that the cooperation between researchers, park managers and local people is essential for the project to succeed of conserving biodiversity.
