the opposite is true, i.e. less number of trees is recorded in Mankira preceded by Boginda and Bonga. Figure 18 Number of saplings per hectare in Bonga, Boginda and Mankira 4.3.4 Small herbaceous plants and grasses Ensermu and Teshome, 2004 listed herbs and grasses found in Bonga forest but did not report their density and distribution. Getachew Berhane and Yoseph Assefa in Girma Balcha et al. (eds.-2004) did not indicate any ground flora except woody plants for Boginda. In this study the result is shown in section 3.3.4 & 3.3.6 above. But, Schmitt C. B., 2006 reported presence and distribution of herbs and grass species. In their report Herbs, grasses, ferns and fern-allies were recorded with presence-absence data. They recorded 75 and 12 species of herbs and grasses. In the current survey 55 species of herbs and 13 species of grasses are recorded in Bonga and Mankira. In Boginda 15 herb species and 3 grass species are recorded. All records under discussion (indicated in the current survey) are records made in the forest and in the sample plot. 49
4.3.5 Total Values of Bonga, Boginda and Mankira, Community Type a. Menale and Sisay (2007) made a study on valuation of Ethiopian forest and its contribution to national economy. The study is submitted to the sponsor, the Center for Environmental Economics and Policy for Africa (CEEPA), housed in University of Pretoria. The authors developed an excel model to analyze the accounting. By employing the model the value of forest of Bonga, Boginda and Mankira was estimated. Based on the study an attempt to valuate part of service value of the forest and timber asset within these three forests is made. Among service functions, in addition to timber, Carbon sequestration, Biodiversity value, watershed value is estimated. Value of four years’ average forest coffee sold in domestic and international market is included 3 . Other values such as grazing, thatch, source of pollen for agriculture could be estimated but there is no reliable socio-economic data in this regard. Accordingly, for timber, Carbon sequestration 4 , water shade protection 5 , and biodiversity (medicinal) value 6 564477035, 892530493, 19993967 and 913600 USD; and 378854.3 USD 7 from coffee (in total 1,478,293,949USD) is estimated, respectively. b. Local communities are dependent on the existing forest for a number of products and services that include collection of fire wood, construction material, grasses and thatch, medicinal plants, coffee, coffee shade, and other many non-timber forest products. In addition the ecosystem service is always taken for granted. Cropping is taking place every year (there is no irrigation scheme; cropping is n rainfed). Forests are the main vegetation types that are maintaining such ecosystem services in balance. Therefore, affecting the forest area means indirectly affecting the local people. Thus a mechanism must be devised to let the local communities participate in deciding on any development program planned to 3 Kaffa Forest Coffee Farmers Cooperation Union. 4 Cost of Carbon offset 16.13 USD/t 5 ETB 25.52 per ha 6 1.8 USD per ha 7 Approximately 1USD is taken as equivalent to 8.6 birr 50
