the habitat when compared with illiterate households. The support of literate households might be due to the concept they got on conservation of natural resources from formal and informal education during their stay at school. Therefore, non educated HHs had negative perception towards Mt. Abune Yoseph Afro-alpine ecosystem and they did not also support its sustainable management when compared with educated HHs of the area. Study conducted on Masindi District CBFM by (Kugonza et al., 2009) in Uganda showed the same result, i.e. higher percentage of illiterate respondents were unwilling to participate in CBFM mainly because they miss out necessary information and training on sustainable tree conservation. Similarly, there was a significant difference (P
management (Table 10). This means that landless HHs did not show positive perception for the conservation of the ecosystem. This might be associated with their interest to get private farmland from the ecosystem and as well as to exploit the resources of the ecosystem freely for their basic needs. Study in Masindi District confirmed, farmers that have secured private land ownership showed participation in CBFM than farmers using government land or land not claimed secured private ownership (Kugonza et al., 2009). In Mt. Abune Yoseph besides farming, livestock rearing is the other economic activity that supports crop cultivation and HH‟s economy. The major livestock kept by the community in the area are cattle, sheep, donkey, horse and mules. In the area cattle are responsible for ploughing and threshing harvested crops. They are also important for providing meat, milk and milk products. Logistic regression results, showed the presence of significant difference (P< 0.05) between HHs by livestock number in their perception towards Mt. Abune Yoseph Afro-alpine ecosystem conservation (Table 10). So HHs that has more heard size support or have positive perception towards Mt. Abune Yoseph Afro-alpine ecosystem and its conservation management than those had less and none livestock number. Based on informal survey and discussion made with key informants, since HHs with more heard size did not have enough private grazing land, if conserved they could compensate their livestock feed shortage by cut and carry system. 4.3. Community perception towards <strong>Ethiopian</strong> wolf To analyze the perception of community towards <strong>Ethiopian</strong> wolf, logistic regression was used to model responses, as it provided a convenient way to undertake categorical data analysis. In practice the analysis and interpretation are quite similar to the well-known procedure of multiple 42
