Chapter V: Conclusion and Recommendations 5.1. Conclusion This study was designed to develop an understanding of the existing community management and status of Mt. Abune Yoseph Afro-alpine ecosystem by taking Ethiopian wolf as a flagship species of the ecosystem. Accordingly, efforts have been made to explore socio-economic and natural resources assessment of the mountain for the improvement of user community livelihood, their perception towards its management and its endemic wild (Ethiopian wolf) as well as tried to show the human- livestock interference impact and the resulting conflict with wolf in the ecosystem. The methods employed, which consist of socio-economic interview, ecologic survey and discussions with key informants were useful in addressing the aims and leading to the following conclusions. The results of this study clearly showed Mt. Abune Yoseph Afro-alpine ecosystem provide essential ecosystem economic goods and services vitally important for the livelihoods of local communities within the limit of sustainability. Due to this fact, majority of the local community had positive perception towards the ecosystem and its flagship species the Ethiopian wolf. A good or positive perception towards communal Afro-alpine ecosystem helps to protect or conserve its resources from the increased human and livestock interference impact by designing sustainable ecosystem management together with community which can avoid the existing human-wildlife conflict particularly human-wolf conflict in the area. Currently, tremendous pressure of the swelling human and livestock population expressed through unsustainable resource exploitation from the ecosystem in the form of long time grazing, frequent firewood collection and agricultural encroachment leads to erosion, gulley formation 66
