Ethiopia's unique lowland forest faces deforestation threat, urgent conservation needed.
The lowland semi-evergreen forest in Ethiopia is a unique and valuable ecosystem that is home to a variety of plant and animal species. However, it is facing threats from deforestation due to human activities like resettlement and commercial plantations. Efforts are needed to protect and sustainably use the remaining forest resources through laws, economic incentives, and ecotourism development. The forest has great potential for ecotourism due to its diverse flora and fauna, waterfalls, and cultural sites.
