Abstract


Ethiopia is rich country in biological diversity; exclusively large mammals. Protected areas are the main focus for the maintenance of wildlife resources and contribute for economic developments of a nation. However, they face significant challenges in meeting human and wildlife needs. Although most communities viewed protected areas and wildlife favorably, the lack of benefits limited local willingness to encourage conservation work. Failure to conserve protected areas will have direct consequences for biodiversity conservation and will prevent the sustainable use of wildlife as a development option. Therefore mitigation and preventive strategies for conservation measure is needed in order to manage wildlife in sustainable manner.
