The objective of this research was to know the community knowledge on biodiversity in Mount Ungaran for support biodiversity conservation. The study was conducted on May-August 2019 in two villages, Ngesrepbalong and Banyuwindu, Preliminary data collection included 6 (six) components and 61 person had been interview as a informants.The results were analyzed quantitatively and qualitative description. The results of preliminary research from interviews and Googleforms showed that taxa were the best known to successive respondents sequently : flora (100%), butterfly (98,41%), bird (96.83%), mammal (93,65), dragonfly (90.48%), frog/toads (82.53%), and reptile (73.02%). 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.
