Conflict resolution can be processed through either the courts (western judiciary model) or the indigenous system through the customary process. In contemporary society, indigenous people live in two overlapping worlds, the Western and Traditional, and neither is fully capable of dealing with disputes involving indigenous people (NADRAC, 2006:3). The modern state legal system governs the lives of the towns‟ people and those of the highlander farmers who live close enough to urban centers to fall under the influence of urban customs (Dolores A. and Donovan et al. 2003). 1 Corresponding author: [email protected] 5482 Endalkachew Birhan, Girma Bekele- Challenges and Opportunities of Indigenous Conflict Resolution Mechanism in Oromia Regional State: The Case of Rayitu Woreda, Bale Zone According to the economic commission for Africa (2007), indigenous conflict resolution mechanism is helpful for controlling and resolving conflicts in Africa in general and in Ethiopia in particular.

  • Forest Conservation for Communities and Carbon: the Economics of Community Forest Management in The
    Forest conservation for communities and carbon: the economics of community forest management in the Bale Mountains Eco-Region, Ethiopia Charlene Watson May 2013 Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy London School of Economics and Political Science 1 Declaration of work This thesis is the result of my own work except where specifically indicated in the text and acknowledgements. The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. Photos are the authors own, as are the figures generated. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. May 2013 2 Abstract Forest conservation based on payments anchored to opportunity costs (OCs) is receiving increasing attention, including for international financial transfers for reduced emissions from deforestation and degradation (REDD+). REDD+ emerged as a payment for environmental service (PES) approach in which conditional payments are made for demonstrable greenhouse gas emission reductions against a business-as-usual baseline. Quantitative assessments of the OCs incurred by forest users of these reductions are lacking. Existing studies are coarse, obscure the heterogeneity of OCs and do not consider how OCs may change over time. An integrated assessment of OCs and carbon benefits under a proposed community forest management (CFM) intervention linked to REDD+ is undertaken in Ethiopia. The OCs of land for the intervention are estimated through household survey and market valuation. Scenarios explore how OCs are likely to change over the intervention given qualitative conservation goals and available land-use change information.

  • Livestock and Livestock Systems in the Bale Mountains Ecoregion
    LIVESTOCK AND LIVESTOCK SYSTEMS IN THE BALE MOUNTAINS ECOREGION Fiona Flintan, Worku Chibsa, Dida Wako and Andrew Ridgewell A report for the Bale EcoRegion Sustainable Management Project, SOS Sahel Ethiopia and FARM Africa June 2008 Addis Ababa Photo: A respondent mapping grazing routes in Bale Mountains EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Livestock has been an integral part of the Bale landscape for many centuries. Until relatively recently the livestock system was extensive with small numbers of people and livestock moving in a free and mobile manner. However since the time of Haile Selassie there have been numerous influencing factors that have changed the face of livestock production in Bale. This began with the introduction of land measurement and taxes which encouraged settled agricultural expansion, aggravated by the declaration of grazing lands as ‘no-man’s lands’. At the same time large scale mechanised farms were established in the lower areas, forcing livestock producers into the higher altitude regions. More recently villagisation and resettlement programmes have promoted settlement and an increased population. However, the largest single ‘loss’ of pastoral resources occurred with the establishment of the Bale Mountains National Park (BMNP) in 1970 encompassing an area of 2400km2. This was created without the consent or even the knowledge of local resource users. The historical development of BMNP has been aimed principally, albeit intermittently, at preserving the environment as a ‘wilderness’ area by excluding habitation and customary natural resource management practices. During the former Dergue regime (1974-1991) state authority over the Park was at its strongest resulting in the forced removal of settlements and the effective colonisation of the mountain landscape.

    December 2007 Bale Eco-Region Sustainable Oromia State Forest Management Programme (BERSMP) Enterprises Supervising Agency BERSMP Policy Brief No.1 The Significance of the Bale Mountains, South Central Ethiopia The Significance of the Bale Mountains, South Central Ethiopia Summary The Bale Mountians is among the 34 world biodiversity hotspots. It is one of the areas in Ethiopia where lack of proper natural resources management is threatening unique resources. The Bale Mountains cover areas ranging from 1500 – 4377masl. The area harbors different ecological zones including moist tropical forest, afroalpine habitats, woodlands, grasslands, wetlands and a large percentage of Ethiopia’s endemic plants and animals. The importance of the ecological processes of the area is significant both locally and globally. About 12 million people are estimated to be dependent on the water resources originating from the Bale Mountains. However, the rate of agricultural expansion and land degradation is highly threatening the economic and ecological potentials of this unique area. Government willingness to jointly manage natural resources with local communities, and the communities enthusiasm and capacity to work towards sustianable development are the opportunites the Bale Eco-Region Sustainable Management Programme is using to mutually enhance the unique biodiverstiy and vital ecological processes of the Bale Mountians Ecosystem. Introduction terms of fauna and flora in Ethiopia. The The wide variations of geo-climatic economic, biodiversity and ecological features in Ethiopia have resulted in large significance attached to this unique area is biological diversity.
