Environmental Management effort in conservation will be required to diverse natural resources value, and as a form of favouring the sustainability of biological natural resources and its ecosystem utilization in City Forest of Telagasari (HKTs). HKTs have been designated as a green open space and it is developed as a protected area and education center of biodiversity in Balikpapan City.

This inventory data and information can be used to support the conservation, as an environmental management effort. The baseline of biodiversity and conservation status in HKTs Balikpapan will be measured as a key parameter for the implementation of biodiversity protection program. The strategic planning and program that are proposed for next fifth year for HKTs may give a positif impact for biodiversity and conservation in HKTs.
