This research examines ecosystem governance by the Ammatoa Kajang indigenous community. The main objective of this research was to understand how Ammatoa Kajang's indigenous knowledge and practices contribute to ecosystem preservation and how they face and adapt to modern environmental changes. The research used a qualitative approach, collecting data through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis. The Results show that the Kajang indigenous community has developed a unique and sustainable ecosystem governance system, rooted in local knowledge and deep spirituality. The study concludes that Ammatoa Kajang's indigenous ecosystem governance practices provide an important example of how local knowledge can contribute to environmental sustainability and the importance of greater integration between indigenous knowledge and contemporary environmental governance strategies
