Status of tree improvement and gene conservation in Ethiopia

Export citation

The forest resources of Ethiopia have been, and still are, subject to indiscriminate destruction. Agricultural expansion and free grazing have been practiced for centuries in Ethiopia. These, and the relentless cutting for fuel and building needs by a dense and rapidly growing population, have led to almost complete deforestation of the Ethiopian highlands today.
