## Abstract
Abstract The forest, known as ale’ in the Bugis language, is integral to Bugis culture. In Lilirilau District, Soppeng Regency, Indonesia, the Baringeng community hosts a harvest thanksgiving ceremony involving forest-related rituals imbued with symbolic significance for maintaining human-nature harmony. This study elucidates the ceremony’s rituals and symbolism while documenting contemporary agricultural practices and responses to advancements. Methodologies include literature reviews, in-depth interviews, and participant observations. The study addresses: (1) the unique aspects of the Baringeng community’s harvest thanksgiving ceremony, focusing on the rituals of mappatettong alé, manno salo, and mattu’bang alé; (2) the symbolic meanings of these rituals, which honor the forest as nyawana linoe (the essence of nature) and water for its purifying properties; and (3) current agricultural conditions and community responses. The research concludes that the ceremony’s significance has waned due to societal changes and a focus on agricultural productivity, necessitating cultural interventions to preserve ecological wisdom for sustainable development.
