Conservation education is important for early childhood because at this stage of development, they are easy to get influenced by external factors, especially on topics that are interesting for them and are able to generate interest and attention. North Sulawesi which is part of the Walllacea Region with high biodiversity with forms of endemism, especially animals, has provided uniqueness and benefits for the area. On the other hand, the high threat to their survival has become an international concern. Therefore, it is very important to implement conservation efforts through conservation education at an early age. The purpose of this community service activity is an effort to socialize the existence, benefits, threats, and conservation that can be done from an early age. The method of implementing the activity is through workshops on examples of Sulawesi endemic animals in North Sulawesi, threats to their survival, and conservation efforts. The evaluation was carried out through a simple pretest and posttest on knowledge and attitudes towards the diversity of Sulawesi endemic animals and their conservation. The results of the evaluation showed that there was an increase in knowledge from 3.8 to 6.2 and attitudes from 5.6 to 6.4. The conclusion of the activity is an increase in knowledge and attitudes of elementary school students towards knowledge and conservation of Sulawesi's endemic animals in North Sulawesi.
