Indigenous forest governance in Indonesia has contributed to maintaining biodiversity. However, the policy or better known as local wisdom on governance, is not widely known. An in-depth study is needed to reveal customary forest governance, especially in South Sulawesi. This study aims to analyze customary forest governance policies in maintaining biodiversity. Data were collected through literature study, observation, and interviews in Bulukumba and Enrekang regencies, South Sulawesi province. The data that has been obtained were analyzed by descriptive method. As a result, indigenous peoples have policies or local wisdom on customary forest management in maintaining biodiversity. Local wisdom is in the form of customary law, which is still obeyed and implemented by indigenous peoples to this day.
