Abstract
The study was conducted to identify the knowledge, perceptions and awareness on animal and plant biodiversity in Malaysia among the Diploma of Science students who have taken the Biodiversity and Evolution of Plantae and Animalia course. A project was given to the students within eight weeks. Questionnaires were distributed among the students at the end of the project about general biodiversity issues. A total of 75 questionnaires were returned. The respondents categorized the major issues that threatened the biodiversity in Malaysia. They also identified the five most importance animals to be conserved. The respondents also identified activities that have negative impact on biodiversity in Malaysia. The respondents showed positive perceptions on conserving the environment and positive awareness on biodiversity. This study may provide information in planning projects that may promote awareness on biodiversity and creating or developing conservation programmes among teenagers.
