Moreover, it contributes to the development of the national economy through wood and non-timber forest products supply, also contributes to various sectors of the national economy such as energy, agriculture, food, industry, health,environment andtourism. In general, the socio-economic contribution of forestry at national scale can be seen from various angles such as employment generation,earning of foreign curreny and import subsititions.However, forests in Ethiopia are shirnk from time to time due to reckless cutting of trees and shrubs for fuelwood, charcoal, construction wood, lumber and agricultural land expansion. Moreover, due to deforestation, there is acute shortage of fuelwood, charcoal, construction wood, timber and non-wood forest products. Currently, the seemingly combined objective of restoring vegetation cover and production of fuel wood is a key environmental issue. Besides, restoration of degraded forest lands and woodlands can be paving as other potential opportunity in the future for firewood production. For the last decaded, forestry research is becoming a key area to alleviate the problems of deforestation and supplement the shortage of supply of forest products from natural and plantation forests, in part due to timber-harvesting restrictions imposed over a few valuable indigenous species Forestry Research contributes to achieve several objects to provide high value commercial timber and fuelwood, to rehabilitate the degraded lands, for agroforestry purposes, provide non-timber forest products and sustainably manage our natural forests and the monoculture plantations established. Forestry research is conducted at federal, regional, and higher learning institutions and they play significant role on conducting and providing appropriate, up-to-date and applicable technologies and information on several forestry related desciplines. Thus, Forestry Research Process under Ethiopian Institute of Agricultural Research (EIAR) has done several research activities in the past to select, promote and disseminate multipurpose and fast growing tree species for rehabilitation of degraded lands to alleviate fuelwood shortage and to combat soil fertility depletion in the country. The Ethiopian Environment and Forest Research Institute (EEFRI) were established with the mission to conduct research on forest development, management, conservation and utilization and thereby generate and disseminate technologies, information and knowledge. The objective of this national workshop was to present completed forestry research over the last tenyears. Therefore, this proceeding has a total of 35scientific papers in different disciplines, plantation and agroforestry, forest resources utilization, ecosystem management, environmental pollution control and management and forest protection aspect. The research technologies may be utilized in a number of forestry and environment related development, utilization, management, conservation, enterprises and education sectors. We strongly recommend all the stakeholders to read the different articles of different technologies and information obtained in recent years and applies a number of forestry and environmnet related research, development and utilization activities as appropriate. v Finally, I would like to forward my grateful to the workshop organizing committee of the institute for the successful organization of the workshop and compiltation of the proceedings. My great pleasure and special thanks to all the organization that sponsored the workshop and publication of this proceeding. Thank you Wubalem Tadesse (PhD) Director General Ethiopian Environment and Forest Research Institute vi ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The EEFRI workshop

  • 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.

  • 7. Willingness to Pay for Systematic Management of Community Forests for Conservation of Non-Timber Forest
    CHAPTER 7 WILLINGNESS TO PAY FOR SYSTEMATIC MANAGEMENT OF COMMUNITY FORESTS FOR CONSERVATION OF NON-TIMBER FOREST PRODUCTS IN NIGERIA’S RAINFOREST REGION Implications for poverty alleviation NNAEMEKA A. CHUKWUONE# AND CHUKWUEMEKA E. OKORJI## # Centre for Entrepreneurship and Development Research and Department of Agricultural Economics, University of Nigeria Nsukka ## Department of Agricultural Economics, University of Nigeria Nsukka E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Despite the importance of non-timber forest products (NTFP) in sustaining livelihood and poverty smoothening in rural communities, they are highly depleted and poorly conserved. Besides, conservation initiatives in Nigeria to date are rarely participatory. Even community forests, the main source of NTFP, are poorly conserved. Therefore, to enhance participatory conservation initiatives, this study determines the willingness of households in forest communities in the rainforest region of Nigeria to pay for systematic management of community forests using the contingent-valuation method. A multistage random-sampling technique was used in selecting 180 respondent households used for the study. The value-elicitation format used was discrete choice with open-ended follow-up questions. A Tobit model with sample selection was used in estimating the bid function. The findings show that some variables such as wealth category, occupation, number of years of schooling and number of females in a household positively and significantly influence willingness to pay. Gender (male-headed households), start price of the valuation, number of males in a household and distance from home to forests negatively and significantly influence willingness to pay. Incorporating these findings in initiatives to organize the local community in systematic management of community forests for NTFP conservation will enhance participation and hence poverty alleviation.

However, the landmass has received less attention even if it has high ecological, environmental and economic importance. The present study was conducted in Hirmi forest, which is one of the dry forest in Northwestern, Ethiopia; to study the floristic composition, plant community types, community-environment relation, vegetation structure and regeneration status of the forest. Method: Vegetation and environmental data were collected from 80 sampling plots having equal size of 25m×25m were designated as the main plots. Within the main plot, five 2mx2m subplots were laid to record seedlings, saplings, and herbaceous species. Furthermore, within each subplot, soil samples were collected to analyze the relationship of edaphic parameters with the plant community. DBH, height, BA, density, vertical structure and frequency were computed. Floristic diversity and evenness were computed using Shannon diversity and Evenness indices. The plant community types and vegetation-environment relationships were analyzed using classification and ordination tools in R package (ver. 3.6.1), respectively. Result: A total of 171 vascular plant species belonging to 135 genera and 56 families were recorded.

Box 96, Jinka, Ethiopia Abstract The market assessment study was conducted in Dasenech, Malle and Benatsemay Districts of South Omo Zone with the objectives of assessing market feasible commodities for income generation in some selected project woredas of south Omo Zone. A total of 459 members of self-help group from pastoral and agro pastorals were participated on key informants’ interview as well as group discussion from 15 kebeles of three woreda. According to the key informants’ interview and focus group discussion with in each group we had summarized and prioritized the consensus ideas of the participants in group discussion for feasible income generating activities. The constraints in the study area include absence of market linkage, market information, infrastructure problem and absence of alternative market, producing poor quality product due to lack of awareness and crop disease. Keywords: Market Assessment, Income Generating Activities, Constraints and Opportunity 1. INTRODUCTION More than 85% of the Ethiopian population, residing in the rural area, is engaged in agricultural production as a major means of livelihood. Agriculture, which accounts for about 47% of GDP, 80% of export earnings and 85% of employment is the backbone of the economy. The industrial sector which accounted for only 12% of GDP in 2004 comprises making of textiles, food processing, cement manufacturing, construction and hydroelectric power generation, among others (MoARD, 2008).
