The current generation's reduced environmental and conservation awareness occurs in the rare plant, namely Manilkara kauki. The aim of this research is as an effort to change students' conservation perceptions regarding the importance of Manilkara Kauki, introduce local potential in learning, and integrate Arts elements in STEAM into the Challenge Based Learning learning model. The research subjects were 40 class X students. This research used a mixed-method approach with an embedded design type. Quantitative data collection uses a one-group pretest-posttest design while qualitative data collection uses reflective essays. Obtained from the results of quantitative calculations, the N-Gain Score has increased in biodiversity and biotechnology materials. The results of the descriptive analysis of the student conservation awareness questionnaire produced a percentage for the principle of protection of 81% (very strong), the principle of conservation of 65% (strong), and the principle of utilization of 66% (strong). Qualitative results from the reflective essay showed ideas for species conservation from the themes found, including students' perceptions regarding the existence of Manilkara kauki, the value of Arts, namely the philosophy found, awareness of the role of plants, and conservation efforts that can be carried out. The learning that has been provided can change students' perceptions of conservation on the principles of protection, preservation, and utilization which are one unit in conservation.
