| Summary: | The potential of Bukit Batu ecotourism includes biotic potential such as flora and fauna. However, the study about the potential of Bukit Batu Ecotourism is still minimal, so research aimed at analyzing the potential of flora and fauna diversity in Bukit Batu Ecotourism needs to be done. Data collection on flora diversity used the transect and importance index value methods, while fauna data collection used the index point of abundance method. Flora and fauna data that have been obtained from the field, then categorized into the quality criteria of flora and fauna diversity. The results of the research on the potential diversity of flora at the seedling level amounted to nine species (poor criteria), the sapling level amounted to eleven species (moderate criteria), the pole level amounted to two species (very poor criteria), the tree level amounted to 21 species (good criteria), and the bush level amounted to 25 species with good criteria. The potential for fauna diversity in Bukit Batu Ecotourism was very good with a total of 44 species of fauna. Bird species occupied the largest amount of diversity, namely 28 species, of which 9 species were protected fauna.
