This paper presented the results ethno-ecology studies at several areas in GHNP such as East Halimun sector (around Gn. Kendeng) and South Halimun sector (around Pangguyangan). The studies were carried out through vegetation analysis with Random Quadrates method and Participation method with interview technique. By these method data were collected for the Important Value Index (IVI) and the Use Value Index (UVI) of species. These values showed that rasamala (Altingia excelsa), for tree stage, has the highest IVI and UVI but for the sampling stages the IVI is low. Kianak (Castanopsis acuminatissima) for tree and sampling stages the IVI is high but the UVI is low, while for maja (Magnolia macklottii), the UVI is high but IVI is low for both tree and sampling stages. Based on these data, analyzed was done regarding the presence and the prospect of these species, in the context of the lifestyle of the villagers
