Latent variables that influence the hunt were economic (X1), health (X2) and social culture (X3). The value of R2 of Anoa hunting (Y1) of 0.623 indicates that the variable can be explained by economic variable (X1) with p-value 0.074 (74%), health with p-value 0.566 and social culture with p-value 0.033. Anoa preservation variable (Y3) can be explained by economic variable (X1) with p-value equal to 0.108, health (X2) p-value of 0.835 and socio-cultural variable (X3). While the variable of regulation strategy (Y2) can be explained by exogenous economic variable (X1) with p-value equal to 0.962, health variable (X2) with p-value equal to 0.835 and socio cultural variable (X3) with p-value 0.175.
