  • Heading with Word in Woodblock
    Oromia Region, Area brief Regional Overview Oromia (sometimes spelled Oromiya, in the Oromo language) is one of the nine regions of Ethiopia. The 2007 census reported its population at over 28 million, making it the largest state in terms of both population and area. Oromia shares a boundary with every Region of Ethiopia except for the Tigray Region. With an estimated area of 353,006.81 square kilometers, this region has an estimated population density of 76.93 people per square kilometer. The region includes the former major Ethiopian provinces Arsi, Bale, Hararghe, Illubabor, Kaffa, Shewa, Sidamo, and Welega provinces. Its current capital is officially Addis Ababa (Oromo: Finfinne). Administratively, Adama serves as a center for the regional state. Other important cities and towns include Adama, Ambo, Asella, Bishoftu, Dembidolo, Fiche, Gimbi, Goba, Jimma, Metu, Negele Boran, Nekemte, Shashamane and Waliso. The Regional infant mortality rate is 76 infant deaths per 1,000 live births, similar to the nationwide average of 77; at least half of these deaths occurr in the infants’ first month of life. Low latrine coverage and little awareness of basic hygiene practices across many parts of the region are having a significant impact on the health and wellbeing of children and their families. In view of the above Save the Children in collaboration with the government and other key allies’ works to achieve MDG 4 and 5 by reducing maternal, newborn and child deaths. As part of our EVERYONE campaign we work to raise awareness in communities about safe delivery and child caring practices. We also work with relevant partners to improve the WASH services and practices at household and facility level.

  • Reactive Monitoring Mission to Simien Mountains National Park Ethiopia
    Joint World Heritage Centre – IUCN Monitoring Mission to Simien Mountains National Park World Heritage Property MISSION REPORT Reactive Monitoring Mission to Simien Mountains National Park Ethiopia 10 – 17 May 2006 Guy Debonnet (UNESCO) Lota Melamari (IUCN) Bastian Bomhard (IUCN) July 2006 1 Executive Summary The World Heritage Committee requested at its 29th session (Durban, 2004) a joint UNESCO/IUCN monitoring mission to Simien Mountains National Park to assess the state of conservation of the property and progress towards achieving the 4 benchmarks set by the World Heritage Committee at its 25th session to guide the removal of the property from the List of World Heritage in Danger. The mission took place 10 – 17 May 2006. This joint mission report summarizes the mission’s key findings on current conservation and management issues at the property. It includes detailed recommendations regarding the benchmarks set by the Committee, including a proposal for 4 revised benchmarks, and other recommendations to improve the conservation and management of the property. The mission found that substantial progress has been made towards the benchmarks 1, 2 and 4 set by the Committee at its 25th session. At the same time, the mission concluded that it is imperative to finalize the park boundary changes and to legalize them through a re- gazetment of Simien Mountains National Park. The mission also noted that benchmark 3 was not achieved and will not be achieved in the near future. The mission concluded that in spite of the progress made since 2001, the threats to the values for which the property was inscribed on the World Heritage List have not yet been resolved.

    Ethiopia Budget Birding th th 25 November to 6 December 2019 (12 days) Trip Report Stresemann’s Bush Crow by Gareth Robbins Trip report compiled by Tour Leader: Gareth Robbins Trip Report – RBL Ethiopia – Budget Birding 2019 2 Tour in Detail Today was the first full day of the tour and after an early breakfast, we left Addis Ababa just in time to miss the traffic and made our way to the town of Debre Birhan. We saw a good number of birds along the way such as Red-breasted Wheatear, the huge Thick-billed Raven, Wattle Ibis, Ortolan Buntings, a large flock of Ethiopian Siskins, Thekla’s Larks, Lanner Falcons, Common Kestrel and an Augur Buzzard. We stopped at a small village just outside the town of Debre Birhan and got fantastic looks at Bearded Vultures as they flew overhead. We also got a long distant view of two Blue-winged Geese. We visited the Debre Birhan Rubbish Dump and got to see some Hooded Vultures, Black Kites and a Tawny Eagle. On the other side of the town, we managed to see Three-banded Plover, Wood Sandpiper, two Abyssinian Longclaws and a female Northern Fiscal impaling an unlucky grasshopper onto the Bearded Vulture by Gareth Robbins barbs of a barbed-wire fence. We then checked into our hotel and had an entertaining lunch before we took the long drive up to three thousand metres above sea level to a place called Gemasa Gedel which was covered by some dark thick cloud. Visibility was terrible here and it was freezing.

  • 10 Best Mountain Treks in Africa 1 MOUNT KILIMANJARO TANZANIA
    10 Best Mountain Treks in Africa From the Atlas Mountains of Morocco all the way down to South Africa’s Drakensberg, Africa has got the best and most popular trekking destinations with Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in the continent at the top of the list. 1 MOUNT KILIMANJARO TANZANIA Climbing Africa’s highest mountain peak is not for the faint of heart. At 19,336 feet high, Mount Kilimanjaro is Africa’s highest peak. Every year at least 20,000 people attempt to climb up the mountain through the 5 different climatic zones. Situated in the Kilimanjaro National Park in Tanzania, this geological wonder is any mountaineers dream climb. There are different routes up Mount Kilimanjaro. Each route has a degree of difficulty in climbing, traffic and scenic beauty. The longer the route you take the less difficult the climbing is and the more you enjoy trekking up the mountain. The least difficult routes are Marangu and Rongai; the more difficult routes are Machame, Shira, and Lemosho. The longer routes have more difficult hiking but you'll be more acclimatized and your chances of reaching the summit are therefore higher. Kilimanjaro National Park is rich in unique bird life, wildlife and beautiful flora. We suggest getting to know the area before your trek, as there is so much to enjoy before your climb. Due to the proximity to the equator and warm Indian ocean, much of the mountain slopes are rich areas of forest, with 195 unique bird species that call this home. As you ascend the mountainous terrain, the landscape changes from lush forest to alpine moorland, interspersed with valleys and ravines.
