Ethiopia
Yayu Coffee Forest Biosphere Reserve: Model site for integration of research-based conservation and development
24-Mar-2010

| abstract: | Yayu forest is one of the priority forest areas in Ethiopia. Over 450 higher plants, 50 mammal, 200 bird, and 20 amphibian species have been recorded in the area. The forest is also one of the few remnant habitats for coffee (Coffea arabica). Ethiopia is the only center of origin and diversity for C. arabica and hence is important for in situ conservation of genetic diversity. The Yayu coffee forest is also important for the livelihoods of local households and stakeholders at different levels. This project aims to reduce deforestation and forest degradation while contributing to the improvement of local livelihoods through adaptive conservation-development integration activities. To achieve this, the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve approach will be adopted. This project’s specific objectives are to strengthen the capacity of government agencies and community-based organizations responsible for biosphere reserve establishment and management, brand, promote and market coffee forest products, rehabilitate degraded parts of the forest area and establish protocols for the monitoring of forest conditions. |

Climate protection and conservation of primary forests – Management models, example of wild coffee forests in Ethiopia
21-Apr-2008
|
+more
| abstract: | In the last 40 years Ethiopia has lost more than 90% of its forests. Ethiopia's montane cloud forests not only constitute important carbon sinks, they also contain genetic resources of global importance as the origin and the centre of genetic diversity of Arabica coffee. Nevertheless, forests have been substantially decimated due to the local population's need for firewood and conversion into agricultural land. This project is geared to easing the pressure on the remaining forests by establishing a biosphere reserve, by reducing the need for firewood through the establishment of community forest plantations, by introducing wood-saving stoves and by supporting new income opportunities for the local population. Carbon storage is to be improved through afforestation and rehabilitation of fragmented forest areas and degraded land. |
