Wanawisata Baturraden merupakan obyek wisata di Kecamatan Baturraden yang dikelola oleh PT. Palawi Risorsis Unit Wanawisata Baturraden. Wanawisata Baturraden memiliki beberapa obyek wisata seperti Bumi Perkemahan, Pancuran Tiga, Pancuran Tujuh dan Telaga Sunyi. Dalam pengelolaanya, pengelola masih terkendala dalam berbagai hal seperti pengembangan aktivitas wisata, aksesibilitas maupun penerapan konsep ekoeduwisata. Selain itu, terjadi penurunan dan peningkatan tren kunjungan terhadap obyek-obyek wisata. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi potensi flora, fauna, lanskap, dan ODTWA dari Wanawisata Baturraden serta merekomendasikan alternatif arah dan strategi pengembangan yang dapat diterapkan Wanawisata Baturraden. Penelitian dilakukan di Wanawisata Baturraden, Kecamatan Baturraden, Kabupaten Banyumas, Jawa Tengah. Metode yang dilakukan secara umum adalah observasi, wawancara serta studi dokumen. Penelitian dimulai dengan melakukan penilaian potensi berdasarkan pedoman Analisis Daerah Operasi � Obyek dan Daya Tarik Wisata Alam (ADO-ODTWA) Ditjen PHKA 2002. Inventarisasi terhadap flora dan fauna dilakukan dengan mencatat secara langsung jenis-jenis yang ditemui saat penelitian. Potensi lanskap dinilai dengan penglihatan langsung terhadap lanskap di sekitarnya dengan parameter Bureau of Land Management. Data wisatawan diambil melalui kuesioner. Data pengelola diambil melalui wawancara terpandu. Data potensi flora, fauna, dan wisatawan dianalisis secara deskriptif. Data potensi lanskap dan ODTWA dianalisis dengan pengharkatan/penskoran. Keseluruhan digunakan untuk menyusun pola pengembangan wisata yang dapat diterapkan. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa terdapat 6 titik potensi terdiri dari 4 obyek wisata yang telah beroperasi (Bumi Perkemahan, Pancuran Tiga, Pancuran Tujuh, dan Telaga Sunyi) dan 2 obyek yang belum beroperasi (Potensi 1 dan Potensi 2). Potensi flora sebanyak 40 jenis yang teridentifikasi, fauna sebanyak 38 jenis yang teridentifikasi, lanskap dengan rentang sedang � tinggi, serta skor potensi ODTWA sebesar 2370 (layak). Strategi yang dapat dilakukan meliputi perbaikan aksesibilitas, penambahan dan pemeliharaan sarana dan prasarana penunjang, pemenuhan SDM, pengembangan wisata pendidikan/edukasi, pengembangan wisata petualangan, serta interpretasi alam.
