The main objectives for this research is to identifying the condition of species, vegetation as well as birds species that are existing in the Tasi-Tolu lake catchment. The methodology that applied for this research is observation and interviews. The result from the data analysis for vegetation that are based on relative density parameter (Parameter Density Relative), Relative frequency and relative dominant, for tree measurement category (20x20m), pole measurement category (10x10m) and seedling measurement category (5x5m). From the observation result within six (6) demplot shows that species flora total 167 trees that categories for the wood consist of 3 species with total of 35 trees. With the INP value 163% category for stake species 5 with the total flora 84, INP 207.7%, Seedling category species 9 with the total flora 48, Idec’s value point (INP) 149%,  Birds species analyzing result that exist in tasi tolu catchment area, during the birds observation in the site researcher has been identified 10 species. Base on the result of the research shows that vegetation analization and birds that exist within that area their condition are really bad due to threats and issues of socio-economic. Base on the data SWOT analyze approach shows that; Weakness 40%, threats 33%, strong 13% and opportunities 13%.
