Ethiopian Deforestation
The main causes of deforestation in Ethiopia are shifting agriculture, livestock production and fuel in drier areas.

It is home to one of the earliest ancestors of the human species, around 80 languages are spoken by various ethnic groups, and it is home to two globally important biodiversity hotspots. However, this rich cultural and natural heritage is threatened, especially in the form of deforestation.
