Abstract
Indigenous peoples who inhabit villages around potential forests to support forest conservation efforts in order for forests to provide benefits for various community needs. This study is a case-study conducted on a community group whose lives are heavily dependent on forests that are groups of woodcarver communities living in Ke'te Kesu District of Toraja-Utara, Sulawesi-Selatan Province, Indonesia. The objective of the study was to uncover the local wisdom practiced by the woodcutter community in relation to forest conservation and how the local wisdom was transmitted to the younger generation of novice woodcarvers. The data collection was done by in-depth interview technique to the engraver and participant-observation technique to observe the engraver activity. The results show that the local wisdom practiced by the engraver community in Ke'te Kesu in relation to forest conservation is the practice of a myth containing abstinence on things that should not be done on the forest and the unwritten rules agreed upon by the community. The local wisdom is transmitted to the novice engraver by (1) delivering myths, excerpts, and unwritten rules about forest preservation in the form of stories, and (2) modeling by senior engraver acting as role model in the application of abstinence and unwritten rules about forest conservation in everyday life. The challenges faced in efforts to apply local wisdom about forest preservation today are challenges that stem from the dynamics of societal change and the effects of global currents.
