Maros-Pangkep Karst Forest is a biological wealth that has an important role in maintaining the sustainability of the macro environment ecosystem in this region. The maintenance of the MarosPangkep Karst Forest has a positive impact on ecosystem sustainability, which guarantees the continuation of cultural heritage from the past in the form of prehistoric caves in the region. Therefore, arranging the Maros-Pangkep Karst Forest principally is either for preserving the environmental ecosystem or for maintaining the cultural ecosystem as well. Thus the Maros-Pangkep Karst Forest must always be well organized and managed. This is due to the utilization of mining potential in this area which has an impact on the destruction of karst forests. The method of comparison of previous research data conducted in this article shows that efforts to organize the Maros-Pangkep Karst Forest need to be done immediately, due to the efforts of the current government to propose this area as Unesco Global Geopark.
