Abstract
Human knowledge about forest conservation can be realized through the local wisdom of the community. Values and meanings in local wisdom are important for suppressing ecological crises that create imbalances in ecosystems. This study aims to reveal the local wisdom values of the Karampuang indigenous people in conserving forests. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative ethnography with data collection through participatory observation, in-depth interviews and documentation. The results of the study show that the local wisdom in forest conservation owned by the Karampuang indigenous people in the Bugis tribe has been embodied in their concept of: Mapakalebbi ale hanua (respect for the forest). The practice of mapakalebbi ale hanua such as; Mappatau ale (humanizing the forest), De’namakkasolang ale (not destroying the forest), Tuo kamase mase (simple life). The existence of the Mapakalebbi ale hanua concept is interpreted by the community to be quite effective in keeping the forest sustainable.
