There are some problems of high school practicum implementation in Gunung Mas District, Central Kalimantan such as 1) limited learning space, 2) students are less introduced to the biodiversity in the neighborhood around the school according to the local potential of the local area, 3) the absence of a practical guide to facilitating students based on ethnobiology.
