The Major Factors Biodiversity Loss and Conservation Measures in Ethiopia: Systematic Review

Abdulbasit Hussein

Though there is a wealth of theoretical evidence to support the economic and social causes of biodiversity loss, empirical evidence for the majority of these connections is scant, if not non-existent. The loss of biological diversity is exacerbated by habitat loss, the introduction of foreign species, over-harvesting of biodiversity resources, and species uniformity in agriculture. All of these variables have one thing in common: they are all driven by humans. In this area, more research is required. It's also contested and questioned if existing biodiversity-conservation measures are capable of effectively counteracting the loss of biodiversity-related cultural values, biological species, and ecosystems due to these primary drivers of biodiversity loss. This comprehensive study examines the economic and societal aspects that contribute to Ethiopia's biodiversity loss, as well as potential opportunities. It also identifies potential roadblocks and future directions that should be pursued. In the analysis, only theoretical considerations and overviews of current estimations are considered. To scale up biodiversity conservation loss, better promotion of practical conservation approaches, community-based management techniques, and sector-based conservation and integration should be adopted throughout the entire resource region.
