products varies between sites. Chiri households to <strong>the</strong> south of <strong>the</strong> park derive mean value of over<br />

5,000 ETB from forest coffee and Rira households, within <strong>the</strong> park, over 1,400 ETB from h<strong>on</strong>ey.<br />

Despite differences in value, <strong>the</strong>re are similarities in forest product types. Firewood was <strong>the</strong> most<br />

frequently reported forest product with mean annual value just under 1,500 ETB per household.<br />

Reliance <strong>on</strong> principal livelihood types<br />

The direct c<strong>on</strong>sumptive use value for each household is measured as <strong>the</strong> aggregated value of crops,<br />

livestock, and forest products. Households with incomplete data for principal livelihood sources<br />

were removed from <strong>the</strong> analysis. Across survey sites, mean per annum value was 16,253 ± 738<br />

ETB (n = 176), with a median of 14,238 ETB. No significant differences were found between<br />

surveyed kebeles (F(3,172) = 1.09, p = 0.3550) despite significant differences between crop and<br />

forest product comp<strong>on</strong>ent values (Table 3, Fig. 3a and 3b). Ordinary least squares (OLS) regressi<strong>on</strong><br />

analysis revealed that this direct c<strong>on</strong>sumptive use value is positively correlated with <strong>the</strong> total number<br />

of people residing in <strong>the</strong> household (OLS = 643.65, p = 0.002; R2 = 0.055, F statistic = 10.16, n =<br />

176). Separate OLS revealed that survey site was a n<strong>on</strong>-significant determinant of household direct<br />

c<strong>on</strong>sumptive use value (OLS = -2712.45, p = 0.203; OLS = -3004.79, p = 0.161; OLS =<br />
