Reports on Ethiopian Forests by Glen W Provisional Military Government of Socialist Ethiopia Forestry and Wildlife Development Authority Reports on Ethiopian Forests by Glen W. Russ Kelecha Addis £haba, Ethiopia March, 1979 r />0 y^=.«S. - /A /oc'* jz*-/W 9 $-<s. Provisional Military Government of Socialist Ethiopia Forestry and Wildlife Development Authority Reports on Ethiopian Forests by Glen VJ* Russ Compiled by:- Wolde-Michael Kelecha Addis Ababa,Ethiopia March, 1979„ -I- Introduction Glen W 9Russ is a distingiushed American forester who had the opportunity of undertaking studies of the Ethiopian forests during his mission to the country from 1940 to 19470 He has recorded his observations and an .account of his work in various reports which cover many fields: such as forestry, fauna, agriculture, honey and wax, people, food and drinks, topography, climates etcc These reports are not easily? available and the only copy I got is very old and same pages are illegible. For this reason I have tried to compile these reports in a book-form so that they can be used as a reference by foresters for future forest development in Ethiopia and also as a reminder of the once flourishing vast forests of the country destroyed through uncontrolled utilization, clearing and burning for agriculture® Most of the forests recorded in these reports have disappea­ red in the last forty years especially in the densely populated areas. These forests occured on steep slopes and through shifting cultivation of the forest lands the top soils have been washed away by water erosion in many areasc This land can now be made use of only by reforestation* \ A won' \ -II- Report No. I Page GENERAL TOPOGRAPHY 1 DRAINAGE BASINS * 1. -2 CLIMATE AMD RAINFALL 2 -3 ./GENERAL VEGETATION ' . 3-9 The Coniferous and Mixed Forests 5 -6 The Broad-leafed Forests 6 The High-grass Savannah 7 -8 Desert Savannah or Acacia Savannah 8 , v/T'SE FORESTS 8-18 Region I 9-10 Region II 11-13 Region III 13 -15 Region IV 15 -16 Region V 16 -18 ✓COMMERCIAL TIK3E3 SPECIES 18 -22 THE SAVJT1ILLS 22 -25 Chercher 25 Sidamo 26 Central Juniper Forests 26 -27 Southwestern Forests 27 PRODUCTION AND MAHX33TING 27 -29 LOGGING EETHODS 29 -30 CONSERVATION 30 -32 SOIL EROSION 33 TREES PLANTING 34 -35 ADMINISTRATION 35 -36 MINO.H FOREST PRODUCTS ' 36 \ III Pap;e .

  • Spatial Distribution of Glossina Sp. and Trypanosoma Sp. in South-Western
    Duguma et al. Parasites & Vectors (2015) 8:430 DOI 10.1186/s13071-015-1041-9 RESEARCH Open Access Spatial distribution of Glossina sp. and Trypanosoma sp. in south-western Ethiopia Reta Duguma1,2, Senbeta Tasew3, Abebe Olani4, Delesa Damena4, Dereje Alemu3, Tesfaye Mulatu4, Yoseph Alemayehu5, Moti Yohannes6, Merga Bekana1, Antje Hoppenheit7, Emmanuel Abatih8, Tibebu Habtewold2, Vincent Delespaux8* and Luc Duchateau2 Abstract Background: Accurate information on the distribution of the tsetse fly is of paramount importance to better control animal trypanosomosis. Entomological and parasitological surveys were conducted in the tsetse belt of south-western Ethiopia to describe the prevalence of trypanosomosis (PoT), the abundance of tsetse flies (AT) and to evaluate the association with potential risk factors. Methods: The study was conducted between 2009 and 2012. The parasitological survey data were analysed by a random effects logistic regression model, whereas the entomological survey data were analysed by a Poisson regression model. The percentage of animals with trypanosomosis was regressed on the tsetse fly count using a random effects logistic regression model. Results: The following six risk factors were evaluated for PoT (i) altitude: significant and inverse correlation with trypanosomosis, (ii) annual variation of PoT: no significant difference between years, (iii) regional state: compared to Benishangul-Gumuz (18.0 %), the three remaining regional states showed significantly lower PoT, (iv) river system: the PoT differed significantly between the river systems, (iv) sex: male animals (11.0 %) were more affected than females (9.0 %), and finally (vi) age at sampling: no difference between the considered classes. Observed trypanosome species were T. congolense (76.0 %), T.

Box: 307 Jimma, Ethiopia Abstract African Animal Trypanosomosis is one of the major impediments to livestock development and agricultural production in Ethiopia, which negatively affect the overall development in agriculture in general, and to food self- reliance efforts in particular. Currently, about 180,000 to 200,000km 2 of fertile arable land of west and southwest of the country is underutilized. Darimu district is one of the areas with such problems. Therefore, a cross-sectional study was conducted with the objectives of assessing the prevalence of Bovine Trypanosomosis and determines spatial distribution and apparent density of tsetse and other biting flies in the study area. In current study, a total of 650 blood samples were collected from randomly selected animals and subjected to Buffy coat parasitological laboratory technique and positive samples were subjected to thin blood smear followed by Giemsa staining. Out of the total blood sampled, 7.1% tested positive for trypanosomosis. Out of positive cases, Trypanosoma congolense (82.61%) was the dominant trypanosome species followed by mixed infection ( Trypanosoma congolense and Trypanosoma vivax ) (8.67%).

  • The Role of Community Radio for Integrated and Sustainable Development in Ethiopia: a Critical Review on the Holistic Approach D
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 10 December 2020 doi:10.20944/preprints202012.0260.v1 The Role of Community Radio for Integrated and Sustainable Development in Ethiopia: A Critical Review on the Holistic Approach Destaw Bayable Yemer Guna Tana Integrated Field Research & Development Center, Debre Tabor University, Ethiopia Email: [email protected] Abstract Community radios play a paramount role in the development of the community. Community radio stations have been highly engaged in addressing social, economic, cultural, educational, health, environmental, sanitation, and disaster issues effectively and strategically using local languages in context. Community radios are also used to express, and share indigenous views, thoughts, ideas, problems, and perspectives of local people. The purpose of this analysis is to explore the role of community radio for integrated and sustainable development in Ethiopia. It used a systematic narrative review. Nine research works and five assessments report were selected purposively and analyzed in a quantitative approach. Currently, in Ethiopia, there are 50 community radio stations that received broadcast licenses from Ethiopian Broadcast Authority with four types of licensing and broadcasting in 29 local languages. Community radio helps the community to identify their common goals, create holistic plans, monitor the progress of their developmental activities, and guide on sustainable development. It contributes to integrated and sustainable development in a collaborative and creative process that cultivates the social, economic, and political conditions needed for the community to succeed which aimed to improve and sustain the livelihoods of the community. However, the media can’t achieve its target goal to support the development activities and bring holistic development of the community.

  • The Quest for Resolution of Guji-Gedeo Conflicts in Southern Ethiopia: a Review of Mechanisms Employed, Actors and Their Effectiveness
    The Quest for Resolution of Guji-Gedeo Conflicts in Southern Ethiopia: A Review of Mechanisms Employed, Actors and Their Effectiveness Girum Kinfemichael1 Abstract This article assesses the quest for resolution of Guji-Gedeo conflicts, the federal device as a means of managing conflict employed and their effectiveness. Methodologically, the study is mainly based on qualitative approach with an opinion and descriptive surveys to reveal the existing problems. It emerges from the study that the different structures, processes and mechanisms, which are employed at various levels of administrative hierarchies of governments for managing the conflicts, remain ad-hoc, not well-coordinated and, above all, their actions are mainly reactive. The study draws an argumentative conclusion that the Federal Government and authorities of the Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples’ Region (SNNPR) and Oromiya Regional State need to boost their close cooperation, engagement in early warning and conflict management endeavors in addressing the conflict as the two communities are still at loggerheads over the issue of defining the contested boundary claims. It is also useful to extend the scope of such cooperation and engagement to the level of local governments in both Regional States. Along with these efforts, it would be better if authorities at various levels revitalize and empower traditional conflict resolution institutions to run parallel with ‘modern’ government structures to respond to the conflicts promptly. It is thus prudent to use the advantage of federalism as flexible and innovative system of governance to manage the conflict constructively. Keywords: Boundary conflicts, ethnicity, ethnic federation, federal restructuring, Guji-Gedeo conflicts, indigenous institutions. 1 Lecturer, Department of Federalism and Local Government Studies, Institute of Federalism and Legal Studies, Ethiopian Civil Service University.

Box 144 Abstract The main purpose of this paper is to investigate Gadaa power transfer, which is performed every eight years among the Oromo society in general and Gujii Oromo in particular. In this study the researcher employed boththe primary and secondary sources. Secondary data sources were collected by assessing published and unpublished materials. The primary data were collected through observation,discussion and interview.Furthermore, these data were described qualitatively. Finally, all data were analyzed and interpreted carefully according to social science disciplines. As revealed by the study, power ( baalli i) transfer is a ritual celebration passing through different steps and concluded by sacrificial activities from giving and taking Abbaa Gadaa’s peacefully. The findings of this paper indicated that in Gadaa Democracy power transferred peacefully through fair, free and periodic election. It has real significance in intercommunity peace-building and sustaining social solidarity and integration. Finally, the paper explored how theOromo nationdeveloped this amazing and exemplary philosophyfor self-rule, self-determination and sustainable development.It also illustrates how it had functioned as a socio-political institution by preventing oppression and exploitation and promoting relative peace, security, sustainable development, and political sovereignty.
