AB - This research explores the
complex interplay between social and economic issues and how they affect
Ethiopia's declining biodiversity. Even though there needs to be more
theoretical arguments connecting these variables to the decline in
biodiversity, there still needs to be more empirical data. The primary causes
of the reduction in ecological diversity in this region are events caused by
humans, such as habitat destruction, the introduction of introduced organisms,
the overuse of natural resources, and the increasing popularity of monoculture
in agriculture. This study highlights the need for further research in this
area. It evaluates critically how well-existing biodiversity conservation plans
are working to protect ecosystems, species, and cultural values from these
prevailing challenges. The study comprehensively analyses the socioeconomic
factors contributing to Ethiopia's declining biodiversity, including viable
approaches, challenges, and future directions for successful intervention. It
analyses previous estimates and focuses primarily on theoretical viewpoints.
Through the support of workable conservation strategies, community-based
management, and sector-specific conservation integration across the resource
region, the research promotes the improvement of biodiversity conservation.
