| description | The study was carried out to determine the extent of knowledge and
the perception the staff have on forest conservation concepts and issues. A
total of 57 respondents comprising of forest officers and administrative officers
attached to all units within the Forestry Department Headquarters of
Peninsular Malaysia participated in the study. The questionnaire was
designed in three parts; Part I requested the respondents' demographic
information, meanwhile the other two parts consist of 17 statements to test the
knowledge of the staffs on the theory and concepts of forest conservation
stipulated in current conservation biology textbooks and manifested within the
National Policy on Biological Diversity 1998, and 20 statements to assess
their perception on the current issues regarding forest conservation in
Malaysia. The results showed that the respondents, regardless of their
position have fair knowledge and considerably perceived positively the forest
conservation concepts and issues. The results of Spearman rank order
correlation test showed that only academic level positively correlated with
knowledge. Profession or job specialisation was negatively correlated with
perception. There was significant correlation in knowledge and perception of
the respondents. |
