Summary:The purpose of this paper is to identify the reflection of primary school students’ in term of their environmental conservation awareness based on their knowledge, attitude, and behavior.

The analysis suggest level of reflection has significant effect on gender and race differences for certain construct, however, it is positive correlation between the level of environmental conservation’s reflection with demographics profile. This study offers new insights into the impact of education on environmental protection, the need for environmental education to improve conservation awareness.
