Entoto Natural Park

Wildlife Absolute Caution with Injuries and Liquor The Hyenas can show curiosity to humans, but they are above all little cautious and restrained. Since the relationship between humans and Hyenas is ancient, mutual peace has evolved, and even children are naturally left untouched by Hyenas. On the other hand, Hyenas have been seen as highly interested in sick or heavily intoxicated people, just regarding this as something different from human and therefore not included in the ancient consensus of mutual respect. Bodily Trauma and Accident Risks It would, therefore, be possible for a person who slips and lies demobilized, hidden and injured in the shady creek bed, may at last after a few days attract Hyenas to become directly fatal. They can indeed become mighty animals, especially the females in close contact with muscular and strength resemble brown bears in a slightly reduced size.

            Human Civilization and Culture for Nature The evolution of civilization in different cultures and parts of the world indicates a strong connection between in-depth knowledge in biology and the specific culture's potential for development. Without a doubt, a healthy relationship is seen with this rule, even in other sciences, but it is particularly evident in biology, as this is so close to human health and well-being.  This focus on Entoto Natural Park with the orientation of native trees and plants reflects the intentions of this context and helps most appropriately both nature and man to develop together in a mutually reinforced relationship that resembles a type of symbiosis.  In cases where this symbiosis is successful, there is a strong connection between knowledge and respect for nature values. However, it is the man who makes the most significant profit of elevated living standards and economics, while nature follows a subordinate role that is

Bees' Cliff - (CAUTION) 14.  **Enchanting Lush Attractions Above the Abyss. Bees' Cliff constitutes a hidden, unknown void, which can become a real danger and, further, does not allow direct, easy proximity from either the east or the west side of the gorge's slopes. These precipitous cliff sides are so seriously too steep that all visual contacts towards the abyss's bottom are impossible, except within the waterfall's vault itself. In all expressions of its nature, as a multi-dimensional beauty, it's despite all; nevertheless, a false invitation of security delivered and this through the surrounding nature's grandiose lush veil of Bees' Cliff (14). This treacherous danger includes even any hiking within the depth bottom of the canyon (35) but only after point (36) towards (14). [See the second map below] Due to this alluring beauty, a deceivingly natural trickery is delivered. The easter canyon's slope gives an impression of

The scientific and prehistoric phenomenon and background  To the large rainfall over the Ethiopian Highlands The humid and warm air that regularly arrives during the rainy season from the Indian Ocean and then rises over the Ethiopian highlands is a meteorological phenomenon known as Orographic Precipitation (OP). This meteorological phenomenon is very well known, and its explanation is evident that the incoming clouds transform their moisture into rain as they rise over a high mountain mass. The landscape in this picture illustrates the circumstances that affect erosion and its relationship to the groundwater levels. Alluvial Water (AW) can be crucial for creating water to the natural groundwater reservoirs and the salvage of the nutrient-rich sediment. The loss of this fertile soil is frequently occurring and increasing without these wetlands when instead, this nutrient-rich sediment should be a welcome contribution to both farms' soil refinement and tourist attr

Benefits from the Establishment of the Park Sustainable Development The biodiversity in the Entoto Natural Park will improve by new plantings of indigenous vegetation. The existing natural plants will reproduce themselves and grow once the Eucalyptus has been replaced and a couple of rainy seasons have washed the toxins in the soil down the hill. There is much to be gained from transforming the plantations of Entoto into a natural park, both economically, biologically, and for the citizens' well-being. A Regrowth of Native Vegetation Indigenous trees and the Australian  Eucalyptus tree  and its Ancient Legacy When the new indigenous forest has grown for some years and action has been taken to halt the erosion, the risk of flooding will be eliminated as a final result of soil with an infiltration capacity well above today's situation. A balance has been reached between the constraints of the landscape and the land use by man, there spontaneously, and by the intro

The Eucalyptus Problem On the Entoto mountain and many other places around Addis Ababa, the existing vegetation is Eucalyptus globulu s. This is an Australian tree brought to Ethiopia some 100 years ago. At this past time, most of the area around the town had been deforested due to the need for wood construction and fuel. The introduction of the new species was very successful, as its speed of growing surpassed the indigenous trees. Some of the Eucalyptus on Entoto have their origin in that first phase of reforestation, but plantations continued during the last century. At present, the bulk of the Park area is covered by eucalyptus plantations. The new species is an integral part of Ethiopian history, but at the same time, it is a tree that not belongs to the Ethiopian flora. Biodiversity :  Foreign trees often have difficulties in adjusting to their new environment. The Eucalyptus is growing apparently without trouble, but it is not capable of sexually reproducing itself, i.e. th
