Yogyakarta has many tropical wild orchids spread in the karst mountains. After the COVID-19 pandemic, ecotourism has started to develop again, especially in this area, which offers many beautiful tourist spots. The increasing number of tourists visiting the area will increase the demand for wild tropical orchids. The method used in this study was exploration, observation, and interviews with the local farmers were carried out to obtain the primary data. The secondary data was obtained from a qualitative approach through a literature study. Data analysis uses interpretation, and the data obtained in the field will be interpreted from the aspect of the orchid’s conservation process to the ecotourism development. Based on the results of studies and research that have been conducted, this local community-based ecotourism occurred when there is awareness of the local community to maintain and preserve a sustainable environment by utilizing the existing land to be more valuable. This community-based ecotourism also showed a positive impact on the conservation of tropical wild orchids and the protection of the environment.
