Khat expansion and forest decline in wondo genet, ethiopia
This study analyses the expansion of khat production in relation to forest decline in the Wondo Genet area in south‐central Ethiopia. By assessing spatial variables and social factors, and using remote sensing and social survey techniques, the extent to which this new cash crop contributes to deforestation is explored.The results indicate that khat has expanded rapidly in terms of land area used for its production at forest frontiers, in isolated…
Forest Decline and Its Causes in the South-Central Rift Valley of Ethiopia
Forest decline in Ethiopia is highlighted by several authors but there is no consensus on its causes and consequences. The objective of this study is to investigate, from sociopolitical and geographical perspectives, the linkage between the trend of forest decline and changes in the social, economic, and political pattern in the Awassa watershed over a 100-year perspective. Field observations, satellite image and map analyses, interviews, and lit…
Pattern and Magnitude of Deforestation in the South Central Rift Valley Region of Ethiopia
The pattern and magnitude of deforestation that occurred from 1972 to 2000 in the south central Rift Valley of Ethiopia were analyzed using remote sensing change detection techniques. The results show that natural forest cover declined from 16% in 1972 to 2.8% in 2000. The total natural forest cleared between 1972 and 2000 amounted to 40,324 ha, corresponding to an annual loss of 1440 ha. The total loss was 82% of the 1972 forest cover and the an…
