The project's overall development goal was to enable the development of a more robust and extensive market for locally grown and processed medicinal plants, while contemporaneously enabling and encouraging conservation of such plants and their ecosystems in the forests, including by participating in measures directed at addressing climate change and increasing local awareness of the value of forest services, where forests are conserved and well managed. It also sought to promote the development of “access and benefit-sharing” as conceptualised in the Convention on Biological Diversity and its Nagoya Protocol, particularly in the context of the ancient traditional knowledge applicable to medicinal plants. The project was approved to receive a GEF grant of US $2,047,000.00, and a commitment of in-kind co-financing valued at US $2,500,000.00.

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Soil quality assessment is valuable for evaluating agroecosystem sustainability, soil degradation, and identifying sustainable land management practices. This study compared soil quality within culturally protected forest areas and adjacent grassland, grazing land, and farmland in Abo-Wonsho, Southern Ethiopia. A total of 40 soil samples (4 land uses × 5replications× 2soildepthlayers: 0 to 10 cm and 10 to 20 cm) were collected for analysis. Soil textural fractions (i.e., sand, silt, and clay percentage) varied with land use and soil depths even though the textural class across all land use types was sandy loam. Bulk density, soil organic carbon (SOC), and available potassium (K) varied significantly: = 0.041, = 0.001,and < 0.001, respectively, with land use and soil depth, but other indicators showed no significant difference.
