Knowledge of environmental services is still something special. The Mbeliling landscape in Flores Island, West Manggarai Regency, is one of the landscapes rich in Global Threatened Species (GaTS) including the Flores Hawk-eagle and Yellow-crested Cockatoo. In addition, this landscape provides water for most of West Manggarai including Labuan Bajo. The level of awareness to maintain environmental services and community participation in monitoring is emphasized. The method used is to implement monitoring tools in the form of digital questionnaires and manual recording of observation objects measured according to the agreed observation paths of the village. There are 17 villages that have participated from 36 villages in the Mbeliling landscape and produced monitoring data of 42 springs and 18 bird species, 2 of which are Endangered species. The identification process by the community is sufficient to illustrate that the community already understands the objects around them and can be documented in a structured data document. However, what remains a challenge is the low level of community participation from each village, which only amounts to 3-5 people. It is necessary to study the appropriate method for the adoption of this monitoring tool.
