The History of the Environment




Our heartfelt condolences to everyone affected by the sudden landslide in Gofa, Southern Ethiopia, and our thoughts are with those who have lost their lives and their loved ones. We commend the ongoing rescue efforts to support families in grief and to re-establish society on a familial and emotionally stable foundation.


The History of the Environment

The prosperity of civilization in different cultures and parts of the World indicates an evident connection between an in-depth knowledge of biology and the specific culture's potential for development. Without a doubt, a healthy relationship is seen with this rule, even in other sciences. Still, it is particularly evident in biology, as it is closely related to human health and well-being. However, the insidious hierarchical governing terror of the past caused severe scares among many nations, inflicting humiliation in severe starvation and fearful aversions, thus damaging the population's most critical needs for safe stimulus in daily life and duties.



A Country's Topography and Climate Ingrain the Trees' Unique Heritage
Thus, the Varying Landscape Create Trees with Different Heritage

The genetic legacy of trees and plants depends on the country's diverse climates and altitudes. Thus, the country's condition has created trees that, although belonging to the same species, have developed distinct differences in their genetic heritage. Hence, due to genetic climate adaptation within different regions of a country, trees produce the ability to cope with these varying climate zones, leaving their imprint in the genetic heritage of their seeds. Although concluded by evolution, it's natural to consider the reactions of organisms to positive stimuli to understand that similar phenomena are part of human reaction patterns and evolutionary background. Indeed, it should appear natural to consider the reactions of organisms to positive stimuli to understand that similar phenomena have influenced human reaction patterns and evolutionary background.



The Inheritance of Plants Depends on the Stimulus 
From the Landscapes' Climate within a Country


The mistake of using the seed from a tree with genetic
originating from a moist and shady gorge as seedlings
on a dry southern slope undermines the trees' ability 
 to survive and other organisms. However, this
endures an intricate symbiotic phenomenon.
Trees, Shrubs, Flowers and Herbs
Trees' Origin from the Country's Terrain and Climate
Thus, the distant locations within a country's topography and geography, but within the same country's borders, have developed fauna and flora that have undergone an extremely long evolutionary process to best adapt to the unique conditions of their geological surroundings. Therefore, depending on the region's unique climate, the area's specific habitat within a country has shaped the native indigenous organisms, whose distinctive properties originate in close synergy with the soil types that have developed throughout aeons of Nature's obvious composting process, including mineral sediment mixture. Hence, this country's topographically isolated location ingrains different genetic properties in organisms due to local and unique climate factors within its landscape.

Landscapes Give the Origin to Plants and People
Therefore, depending on the country's mountainside or within its shady gorge, the endemic tree has created the specificity of its genetic heritage, following the uniqueness of the climate situation in the landscape. Thus, the trees' evolutionary connection to a country's landscape creates a precious legacy for their seeds, which inherit well-adapted genetic characteristics in their pedigree related to the location's climate-technical uniqueness. This background of diversity in stimulus activation also includes humans, as their health and ability to work are highly dependent on the uniqueness of their natural genetic heritage, whose well-being requires a corresponding stimulus from their culture.


Ethiopia and the River Nile

First, in 1968, science could muster the
adventure of the more significant source
to the Nile and its mighty water flow by
following an arduous journey through
Ethiopia's deep gorges and canyons.

Indeed, it's a rare fact that Ethiopia's high plateau is an abundant water source and constitutes the cultural cradle and foundation of the last millennium's most mighty Western civilisations. Thus, the fact that Ethiopia is the actual, dominant, and natural source of the Nile's water origin is a surprising piece of information that has been emotionally overlooked. Even populations in highly advanced countries are often emotionally hindered from including this information about Ethiopia as the cultural cradle of today's modern civilisations. Of course, this flagrant misconception within Western knowledge demands an explanation.

The Prehistoric Legacy of Water and Plants 
Ethiopia's considerable rainwater resources were probably not so contradictory in ancient times since the country's landscape still retained the water-saturating properties of its original vegetation. Ethiopia's historical water capacity was largely due to the water-absorbing properties of the highlands' abundant natural soil and vegetation. The same native vegetation served as Nature's intricate ancient harbour for the landscape's water, where its natural high-tech prevented water flow from gaining force and speed in torrential losses. Furthermore, the original vegetation also functioned as numerous very efficient receivers of deluges and their torrents, thereby absorbing the water masses and preventing them from being wasted in the Mediterranean Sea.


Nature's Prehistory with Water and Soils

Ethiopia's Guardian Plants and Their Ground

Historically, in Ethiopia, this ancient receiving water system of plants and soils, which was in place in antiquity, still retains its natural properties to hold much water and nourishment within the landscape's mountain massif and deeper soils. These vital water-preserving and harbouring properties of the ancient Ethiopian Highland prepared and guarded Nature for an unknown dry season in the coming years. Furthermore, Nature's organic protective and shielding mechanisms fulfil its natural character, protecting and saving this precious water, which explains the evolution of species and their connection to their environment. Nature's high-tech technology from the ancient past then carefully purified the deluges and stored the seasonal rainfall through typical phenomena of the natural scene and native organisms. These organic, evolutionarily optimized creations of endemic trees and plants, with their extensive networks of roots, are highly sought-after biological tissues—crucial as powerful shielding mechanisms in the landscape, providing the required protection against erosion.

Ethiopia's Historical Water Landscape

Thus, Ethiopia's indigenous plants' evolution has provided its landscape with a rich, robust, and deeply rooted system. Therefore, this native Ethiopian vegetation directed the seasonal deluges into the mountain massif's aquifers and served as gigantic underground reservoirs, buffering the effects for aeons. The physical properties of Ethiopia's Highland landscape and the impact of its organisms' ground symbiosis have historically provided Nature with natural and highly effective water reservoirs, which serve as massive physical receivers of floods. Hence, Ethiopia's Nature and landscape historically supplied water-engulfing properties, thus preventing the country's water masses from rushing down the country's slopes towards Egypt. Thus, in the past, Ethiopia experienced an era of high civilisation of historical significance and natural wealth, when Ethiopia's landscape could hold a large proportion of the water within its borders.


The Eucalyptus Tree's Groundwater Destruction


The Eucalyptus Problem
The Eucalyptus Tree and Its Intricate Toxicity
A chemical component with an intricate competition-oriented toxic defence system in the leaves and roots of Eucalyptus trees prevents the growth of other trees and herbs. This chemical component leads to a monoculture with Eucalyptus as the only tree species, eventually resulting in no ground cover due to the poisoning of the guardian effect from the native, remaining plant cover. Hence, this toxin component causes severe erosion, easily observed in the water running through Addis during the rainy seasons.
 
The Environmental Dangers of the Eucalyptus Tree  
Due to these shortcomings in the water-preserving capacity of the Eucalyptus plantation, it cannot counterbalance the uneven distribution of rain. The result is often torrential flooding in the down-slope areas, in this case, the northern district of Addis Ababa. In August 1994, overwhelming and sudden flooding created a fatal danger when torrential flash floods suddenly sped up along the slopes in soil-milling violence.



A Foreign Toxicity Causing Desertification

Ethiopian Nature's endemic trees and native undergrowth, which serve as the ground's reinforcing shield of anchoring armour, often fail to survive the perpetual onslaught of the foreign Eucalyptus trees' aggressive, toxic substances. The foreign plantation element and overexploitation of native trees cause an unavoidable impoverishment of the landscape. Hence, the depletion of the native vegetation's reinforcing shield causes the uncontrollable flashfloods to force erosion by forcefully chiselling the ground, where the landscape loses its precious nourishment. Thus, this poisoning causes the loss of endemic habitats for Ethiopia's wildlife and destroys previously lush pastures, leaving once-productive meadows impossible for farming and livestock. From this arises the considerable responsibility to rebuild essential soil layers and provide these layers with the necessary support and resistance until the endemic trees have regained their extensive root systems.


A Toxicity with Destructive Forces and Famines 
Regrettably, the destructive effects of the toxicity from the foreign eucalyptus tree in Ethiopia have severely impoverished the farmers' daily lives, as this foreign tree's toxicity causes a rapid loss of precious water resources by creating torrential flash floods that seemingly reject water flow into erosive forces. Indeed, this historical problem causes health issues for farmers and the country's inhabitants, as these otherwise valuable Highland deluges are allowing this foreign tree to exhaust its plant toxicity widely within the country's original Natural Environment. Hence, it follows that poisoned and barren ground initiates and stimulates violently bursting water masses to accelerate into a dangerous force from the highlands' slopes and, in its aftermath, cause severe erosion, landslides, and drought. This phenomenon has undoubtedly historically threatened the country's economy and, ultimately, posed a real threat to the population's health and quality of life, thereby jeopardising the inhabitants' long-term survival.


The Importance Of Domestic Trees

Reinforcement Of Native Roots Against Erosion


A Technical Page about the Powers of Water
The Torrential Rains and Erosion
Erosion: The soil-holding capacity of Eucalyptus is relatively moderate compared to the original Ethiopian ground cover and trees, which initially covered the slopes of Entoto. Because there is no ground cover in the foreign-implanted Eucalyptus forest, the only thing to hold the soil is the sporadic web of roots of the trees. This lack of soil stabilizing undergrowth causes severe erosion, which is easily observed in the water running through Addis in connection with the rainy seasons. During every rain period, torrential forces erode valuable nutrients, causing the layer of fertile soil to become thinner. Without due care and preservation within a few years, no fertile ground will remain for new vegetation, and the erosion will be irreversible.

Flooding: On Entoto, every leaf and branch that has fallen to the ground is collected by people, whereas in a natural forest, organic material from leaves, wood, roots, etc., is left to be decomposed in the soil. Thus, in the endemic primaeval forest, the organic matter and its composting humus improve the soil structure, resulting in a higher infiltration rate and a significantly enhanced water storage capacity.


Ethiopia's and Nature's Heritage:

The Delicate and Precious Origins of Symbiosis

Nature's ancient, secretive, and high-tech heritage is nothing less than the planet Earth's own concealed, albeit gentle, interaction between indigenous vegetation, organisms, and soil mechanics, thus Nature's symbiotic way of creating very advanced synergies with the most vital properties. With its tremendous protective effect on the landscape's soil layers, this ancient and symbiotic relationship between native plants, microorganisms, and soils created powerful water-receiving mechanisms for the ground's hydrology. Therefore, a prehistoric synergy and highly intricate creation of biology and Earth emerge, characterised by shielding ground properties, and thus the ability to naturally absorb and store the deluges for the future within the gigantic aquifers of often ancient water (paleowater). Hence, extracted through devoted research, the sciences' analysis of prehistory in antiquity established the foundation of Nature's creation, laying the groundwork for the World's biological network to gather and protect the soil's most vital water-purifying properties. Thus, in early prehistory, this delicate and multifaceted symbiotic process initiated the foundation for a reliable and loyal base for the inhabitants of Earth's Nature.

Study of the water's complexity

Ethiopia's Natural Water Production
Furthermore, history's misdeeds against Ethiopia's natural forests and Nature Have severely wounded the prehistoric ecological and geological heritage by interrupting the natural and critical processes of original soil creation, which are derived from the endemic decomposition of leaves and twigs. This genetically optimized process, which involves the ground composting of indigenous trees' leaves and twigs from the Ethiopian forest, was crucial in preventing the initiation of erosive torrents. It gave the trees their ground, thus giving the soil's structure the required time to absorb deluges in this mountainous highland landscape.

The Natural Water Bodies of the Highland
This historical malefactor against the original Ethiopian Nature severely weakened the county's original soil system in its essential function of leading and assisting rainwater to the natural underground aquifers. Hence, the severe reduction in the remaining soil's ability to retain moisture severely reduced the amount of water delivered into the natural aquifers and, of course, reduced future chances for citizens to obtain clean household water. Of course, this phenomenon also raises hindrances to reintroducing indigenous species.
 



The Natural Optimized Storage of Purified Water

The Evolution of Plants in Harmony with the Earth's Geology
These were the naturally organic structures from endemic vegetation and deep, geologically advanced mechanisms that evolved together with the planet Earth to ensure pure water resources, as shown in the image above. These concealed water-preserving mechanisms, in the remote past, stored water for the yearly dry seasons and even preserved purified water for countless years within the natural underground aquifers. Nature's prehistoric creation of retaining and purifying water consisted of its own indigenous, optimized selection of native plants and soils. These native plants and their unique soils then directed the rainwater by physical blocking properties and guided it into the ground. Due to these intricate synergies of roots and soils' symbiotic enhancements, the past landscape absorbed the seasonal deluges, reminiscent of a myriad of microscopic and underground-seeking natural systems, delivering tube-mimicking structures. The indigenous plants and trees have provided Nature with an immense, robust, soil-reinforcing, well-anchored root system. Therefore, this native Ethiopian vegetation directed the seasonal deluges into the mountain's natural underground reservoirs. Thus, torrential floods carefully infiltrated Ethiopia's thick soil layers and the deeper groundwater reservoirs in antiquity.


Ethiopia's Historical Rainfall and Deluges

The water-retaining properties of native Highland
 vegetation and its trees can be considered, and
 scientifically analyzed using similar methods
 for highly complex dam constructions.
The Torrential Rains and Erosion
This seasonal water flow over the Ethiopian Highlands has historically, and even more so prehistorically, infiltrated the deluges into the soil permeability, vertically delivering a mass of purified water stored in underground aquifers, which over the following years gave the natural springs their vitality and provided the necessary purified drinking water.

Historically, these large quantities of torrential precipitation were absorbed and accumulated within the borders of Ethiopia for a long time, resulting in a significant increase in total water flows over time and, at the same time, mitigating sudden and erosive overflows. These floodwaters were thus regularly absorbed by Ethiopia's geology, landscape, and vegetation during each rainy season. Thereby, the abundance of rainwater began to flow further into the Nile only after Ethiopia's landscape was fully saturated.



Ethiopia's Highlands' Precipitation

The Water Source of Antiquity and Culture's Cradle

The meteorological phenomenon known as orographic precipitation (OP) is illustrated in the image above [1]. This mountainous and high-altitude weather condition is a well-known and evident scientific phenomenon that describes how the incoming clouds transform their moisture into rain (OP) as they rise over a high mountain and its chilly massif. However, this mountain massif does not need to be close to potential civilization to deliver high volumes of water. Still, the source of the precipitation and the countries that benefit from it may be very distant from one another, such as the Ethiopian Highlands and the Egyptian civilization. The Ethiopian Highlands is a historical example here, which, despite its remoteness, is nevertheless the most significant source of water that arrives in Egypt's civilisation through the Nile River.

The Nile River's Grand Journey from Ethiopia

After the surprisingly long detour of the Blue Nile's journey towards the south and Ethiopia's Capital, Addis Ababa, the Blue Nile finally turns northwards and unites with the White Nile in Sudan, then continues to Egypt. Although the Nile is mighty when it finally arrives in Egypt, it is somewhat surprising how this classic river, along its path from the Ethiopian Highlands, is also subdued by considerable water losses. Due to leaks along its extremely long river path, the River Nile's water suffers from significant losses in soil permeability and evaporation. Furthermore, these countries receiving water from the Ethiopian Highlands are known as warmer lowland areas; nevertheless, the water from Ethiopia ultimately arrives in Egypt in historical quantities.



Benefits from the Establishment of the Park


Benefits from the Establishment of the Park
A Natural Place for Weekends and Studies
The experience of Ethiopian original and naturally fertile beauty near Addis Ababa, with fashionable facilities, where historical Sanctuaries and museums contribute to attracting visitors even during rainy seasons. Schoolchildren will actively use the Park for environmental education or to find a peaceful spot to do homework. Restaurants at Entoto Kidane Mehret (1), Entoto Maryam (43), and Entoto Park (Z) offer amusements that attract visitors with pleasure and activities, while enjoying the view of Addis Ababa from a restaurant on a hot afternoon or weekend, surrounded by the fresh fragrance of the juniper forest's calmness.


A Beautiful Memory that Attracts Modern Science and Art

With glowing passion and warmth, the residents of Entoto still speak of how, for a reasonable time after the rainy season, the water level in Entoto's canyon streams and its enchanting rock baths remained one metre higher. It is thus quite close to the time when Entoto's mountain massif and its canyons could carry significantly higher water quantity and, therefore, supply the population in the Capital with fresh water to a much greater extent.


Ethiopia's Nature with Water Guardian Functions

With the guardian and a profoundly anchored network of roots and stems, a complex picture of evolution's optimization emerges of Ethiopia's original vegetation. In the past, the endemic vegetation in Ethiopia's highlands consisted of a primaeval forest with an intricate network of stems and a deeply anchored network of roots, functioning as numerous efficient reinforcements of the otherwise fragile soil. Hence, an ancient natural legacy reveals its precious presence within Nature's cradle, from when the roots and their surrounding soils' unique characteristics became intricately dependent on each other, thus accomplishing the beginning of evolution as the actual purifying water gates to the ground and aquifers. Therefore, in ancient times, Ethiopia's considerable rainwater resources were not so contradictory, and the reason was mainly the abundant natural and original vegetation of Ethiopia's highlands.



The Environment and the Loss of Civilizations

Destructive heritage within many of today's clans of
autocrats give the culture a treacherous shift with
 a legacy of an obscure genetic inflow.
Evolutionary anthropology
 
Directed by this despotism in the past, the political rule of terror created a life-threatening situation against the inhabitants of these original wealthy civilizations. In their desperation for their families, very few dared, and many did not survive, in their attempt to undertake any necessary technology or work to promote these water masses to benefit the population during heat and drought. Therefore, this law of silent terror effectively and continuously deteriorated the soil layers' natural strength until this country's ground no longer produced abundant crops. Thus, the lack of basic knowledge and empathy within many early despotic autocracies initiated the decline of these rich cultures of the past, ultimately causing irreversible destruction and erosion of the land, often leading to prolonged and extreme poverty.



The Loss Of The Country's Souls and Water

In this perilously repressive political environment, it was crucial for the working part of the population to discreetly avoid any public displays of individual economic success or personal interest in societal development. As a result, the historical autocracies' despotism succeeded in their aim for personal profit due to reluctance for temporary costs regarding humans and the country, thereby manipulating the inhabitants into deceivingly concealed and dangerously debilitating sadism, even frequently fatal deadlocks. This threat from the psychopathy of the despotic power elite caused a susceptible situation with an imminent danger for any person with a higher capacity than the autocracy while aspiring to progress for their country's population's well-being, and thereby becoming the vulnerable target for the power's jealousy in almighty megalomania.

Secrets From a Time Lost in Shadows and Turmoil

A Forgotten and Forbidden Historical Past


The Artworks: Leonardo da Vinci

A Lost High Cultural Era of Humanity's History
Indeed, the opportunities for advancing humankind's cultural cradle have endured periods of direct and subconscious censorship of nefarious rigidity, as well as aeons of degeneration due to deeply corrupt reasons, stemming from a legacy of bestial-induced elements that have been hierarchically enforced from the earliest times in humankind's history. Therefore, well concealed behind generations of enforced censorship, the subconscious tries to endure the pressure in a sensitive balance even when encountering legacies of bestialities from the morbid selection of the past. Thus, due to the deceived persona of the population, their cultural behaviour becomes corrupted, thereby obstructing and obscuring the paths and visions of humankind.

A Humanity Subconsciously Behind Bars
However, behind the bars of humankind's cage, made of fabricated obstacles and ingrained social norms, prevails nothing more than a culturally enforced inheritance where most individuals must exist. Thus, throughout history, humankind's civilizations have often endured long periods of psychological and physiological torment in cycles of repeating cataclysmic paradigms, and personal experiences of corrosive agony about what is wrong, where they usually never find the natural source of their discomfort or its underlying cause. 



Cataclysms and Covert Deception:

Unveiling the Secrets of the Genome

Ancient DNA provided humankind with the most vital part of the human genome, intended as a crucial defence mechanism against dangerous predators or fatal catastrophes. Consequently, this underlying legacy of a real threat in the ancient genome activated traumatic experiences among the population, thereby inheriting and delivering a modified genome to the future. Hence, the historical autocracies' despotism used a genome of the past to succeed by the most sinister threat of despotic manipulation, delivering a devastating deadlock for the suffering inhabitants. Due to these ominous and fatal threats against the population, the omnipotent despots of the past directed harmful actions against the population's health, followed by misery for the near future civilization. The ruling power's insidious terror has thus tragically become a triggering factor for the sordid survival of the population. This firmly solidifies a subconscious threat and enforces socially fashionable behaviour for survival under terror. It even leads to perverted idol worship and a malignant cultural ideal.



The Idea of the connection between human behaviour
and its genetic heritage is a complicated subject and
constitutes a central core of research on the human
species and its civilizations throughout the ages.
A Foundation on Scientific Giants 
It seems obvious to reconcile Sigmund Freud's description of the human psyche with Charles Darwin's legendary explanation of the origin of species, albeit harsh for many to treat the human species among others and to analyze humankind on this scientific basis. Undeniably, there is a will in human culture to rise above Nature and instead emphasize humanity's elevated origin. 

DNA and Psychology United
The unification of the behaviour and biology within the human species is thus a complex problem to summarize. Consequently, great attention is crucial here to direct careful observation, as the subject is a complex and highly intricate diplomatic issue. Therefore, it appears to be a noble opportunity for the individual to become a source of well-being.


Terror & Guardian DNA Of the Past

Of course, this ubiquitous and insidiously fatal terror poses severe obstacles to the population's essential will for society's positive development and substantial barriers to the people's willingness to acquire the necessary knowledge of the country's natural resources. However, this silent terror is inevitably accompanied by direct fear among the inhabitants, a terror strong enough to activate fearful aversions within the consciousness of the population's most deeply rooted phobias, which are both culturally and genetically based. Autonomously, this genetic legacy from prehistory tormented silent people's minds to protect their lives, even if its path was directed to humiliation in severe starvation. Naturally and tragically, this elemental guardian DNA from the past also inhibited the inhabitants' ability to reveal or stimulate their motivation to, for example, collect and safely store these massive amounts of rain and immense seasonal deluges. This history of nefarious autocracy presents significant challenges to gaining the population's trust. 


Megalomania & Despotism

This quote by Simon Wiesenthal enlightens the importance of
vigilance regarding the nefariously frugal and dangerous
heritage of despotic origin, which tragically grafts a
deeply sinister, malign, and deceptive nature
to most of its misfortune population.
These historical autocracies appear with a severely malign, culturally locked pattern of imaginary sovereignty with a flagrant and awful record throughout history. For the psychopaths, a firmly laid foundation emerged during their glamorous and hazardous lifetime, assuring the profits derived from an outstandingly insidious search for the ardour to live and rule after an imaginary grandeur of prestigious ideals. Against the population's well-being and their country's future, these autocrats' despotic megalomania all too often acts in profoundly revolting bestiality, with the robust creation of a fatal cultural paradigm which enforces its approaching doom in menacing delusion. Thus, developing in terror of covert repugnant ideals, these autocracies succeeded by terror, setting overwhelmingly abhorrent standards fabricated by frugal greed and envy. Hence, the ground of tragedy was laid and generated for the psychopaths, the genetically influential factors to rule, divide and reinforce their despotic, dictatorial legacy.


Psychopathy Against the Population

Due to the recurring background of shortcomings in knowledge within international cultures throughout history, there follows a deterioration of the environment. This destruction of the environment occurs because an ignorant, nefariously fabricated elite demands supremacy in overwhelming megalomania with the delusion of grandeur. Thus, the leaders of these dictatorships created their businesses while poorly hiding their reluctance for the temporary costs regarding the concerns for humans and the country and, maybe most devastating, reproduced their psychopathic genes of terror. They prevailed by posing a threat through the corrosive deception of an old heritage within the most deeply rooted part of the population's fear. From antiquity, this human factor of fear has been a specific part of the human genome, working within the prehistoric defence trigger DNA mechanisms.




The Valuable Knowledge of Antiquity

Aquifers, Technology and Evolution

Knowing these natural aquifers and their synergies with water technologies is a highly valued historical legacy of antiquity. In their context, they are a well-known concept that helps to understand that a mighty mountain massif that receives abundant and regular precipitation with chilly temperatures also provides the conditions for harbouring this water. Hence, the plants genetically evolved into formidable distributors of superficial rainwater, allowing this water to penetrate the soil's otherwise porous and resistant structure, thereby creating groundwater.  The Forgotten Sciences from Antiquity

𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐫𝐬

These historically developed technical and geological-based methods for managing and conserving enormous amounts of water are often technically complex and aesthetically grandiose. The methods of this water technology vary significantly between different cultures and continents. Still, in the legacy of history, they are the basis of ancient civilizations' most essential and original technological achievements.



Civilizations and Mountainous Rainfall

The precipitation that falls on high-lying mountain masses is usually of utmost importance for the opportunities to develop a stable and prosperous civilization for the societies below. This cultural dependency is a distinct and recurring phenomenon that has occurred throughout history and persists in today's cultures. The erosive forces can be devastating and contradictory, and this is because rainfall should usually be welcome. Nevertheless, significant problems often include a lack of higher civilization, political turmoil, or a despotic and ignorant society under harsh control by a tragically corrupt heritage.


The Fragile Restoration Of the Lost Nature

 Scientific work and considerable time and labour are required for environmental restoration; this demands massive protection projects to provide the young plants with a replacement for the lost biotope and its vital natural protective properties. Hence, restoring a lost biotope is complicated and requires considerable effort to recreate a reliable substitute for the missing shielding armour of the primaeval forest. Therefore, due to the absence of the essential protective functions of mother trees and other plants, enormous efforts are required to recreate these guardian functions for the tender indigenous seedlings, which would otherwise not survive on the very exposed ground.



𝑊𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝐶𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝐺𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐵𝑒𝑎𝑢𝑡𝑦

Within the historical records appear several practical and aesthetic possibilities for restoration. These options for aesthetic restorations include water management, ground stability, and the most attractive recreation paths. Another way of describing these methods for natural conservation is the effectiveness of the irrigation method when combined with very gentle and beautiful hiking trails above dizzying precipices. Through these micro canals' associated need for strength and reliability, this need for reinforced waterways coincides with the suitability of dramatically beautiful and safe hiking trails where the steep slopes above or beneath these paths deliver an extraordinary beauty over grand views of often impossible precipices. 📸: From Wikimedia Commons, Fasilides Bath, Gondar, Ethiopia.





CAUTION: 

The Slopes' Environmental Restoration

Sudden influxes of water in the mountains can lead to instability and damage to the vacuum-anchoring suction effect, which is a result of the gravity pressure built up over time in the layers of the hillside. Furthermore, a previous reduction of trees removes the reinforcement from roots, causing the slopes to become even more saturated and fragile due to the loss of strength from the tree roots and increased lubrication from the water masses. Furthermore, the stability of the native vegetation and trees' roots also prevents the water forces from accelerating and forming devastating torrential flows, where water masses tear up the ground of buildings and drill deeply into the riverbanks of the settlements.

Stabilizing and preventing oversaturation while restoring the

Humankind's High-Tech in Synergy with

Creation of Nature's Foundation

What seems too complicated to describe in standard terms can sometimes be given a simple parable opportunity. In short, a few stones do not hinder a flowing torrent but very well by a firmly anchored uniform stone construction. Consequently, the few haphazardly placed stones perish in futile toil while the labourer crouches in sweat and thirst, despair and poverty. In contrast, the opposite is usually the case with the anchored unit and its amounts of valuable dammed water at hand to use when the drought occurs. Of course, the natural forest comprises numerous complex biological phenomena, featuring countless plants and organisms in symbiotic relationships, with a highly ancient evolutionary origin as water protectors for the environment. Therefore, the water-retaining properties of the mountain massifs' Highland in synergy with endemic vegetation and its trees can be considered and scientifically analyzed with considerable help from the methods used for highly complex dam constructions.



The Ethiopian Heritage Trust


ADDRESS
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Bole Road, Ras Mengesha Siyum House
Phone: - +251-11 515 8802

In 1992, the Ethiopian Heritage Trust (EHT or the Trust) started as an Ethiopian voluntary organization and is non-political, non-religious, and non-profiting in its constitution. Founded by private individuals wishing to make a personal contribution towards stopping the decay and the destruction of the country's historical buildings and natural environment, the organization has, from the beginning, been supported by the Administration of Region 14. Membership is open to all after paying an annual or lifetime fee.

The organization, Ethiopian Heritage Trust, is devoted to restoring Ethiopia's indigenous Nature and sincerely preserving the country's precious cultural heritage. With high priority, the Ethiopian Heritage Trust laid the ground for understanding the importance of an indigenous forest's effect on the country's natural health. The organisation's work with planting native saplings illuminates the landscape's healing capacity with precision, thanks to this native forest. The toxic eucalyptus tree highlights the importance of careful research in natural science. Such a history of incompatible species provides a stark and evident example as a warning before introducing foreign species into unique and vulnerable habitats.



Entoto Natural Park's Profound Commitment 

Obligations for the Population and the Environment

Given the country's development and the critical environmental impact on public health, the school year, medical research and development for future generations, and education in natural sciences, preserving and protecting the Entoto Natural Park (Nursery) 34 project is of utmost importance. Furthermore, it aims to expand this project, which fosters a sensitive connection between humans and environmental health, to include additional areas through the restoration of Nature in the fresh, fragrant Highland that spans Ethiopia's High Plateau.

The Park's Working Souls

Many devoted souls have spent years in this magnificent and often inaccessible area where great respect should follow; therefore, this immense work to restore human health and dignity as representatives of formidable environmental conservation. This is the work area of many endeavours: Entoto's High Plateau, where it appears among adorable Juniper hills and dreamlike meadows. Ultimately, beyond the horizon of golden fields, this landscape of forgotten dreams reveals its southern border in the abyss of Bees' Cliff (14). It soon reveals the beautiful path (42) to Entoto Natural Park (Nursery) 34, where extensive work has been carried out with nature restoration for many years.
