The main threats of mammals
The present study shows that the forest ecosystem has exacerbated the
deterioration of natural resources, and wildlife is facing major
challenges as a result of manmade activities, which could lead to
complete degeradation. The findings agree with (Geleta and Bekele, 2016;
Legese et al ., 2019). In addition to habitat loss, anthropogenic
activities can modify a habitat in ways that change species
interactions, distribution, and diversity (Kasso and Bekele, 2014). Due
to the low punitive system in the studied area, the practice of
anthropogenic activities appeared to be unrestrained. Deforestation in
the study area appeared to be exacerbated by a lack of tolerance among
local and zonal forest workers (Girma Gizachew, 2021). Violations
between forest wardens and loggers might not be enough to stop the
situation unless their operations are governed by law. The proximity of
Nekemte town to the forest, on the other hand, may have exacerbated
forest devastation for fuel wood and construction materials. Charcoal
production was used as the best revenue generation for poor people who
are incapable of producing timber. If deforestation continues, the
current flora and wildlife of the research region may go extinct.
Despite this, poor communication and a lack of active engagement had
resulted in misunderstandings between decision makers, resulting in
selective fire fuel collecting being allowed (Girma Gizachew, 2021). As
a result, conservation issues have remained unresolved for over a
decade. Therefore, the challenges of wildlife conservation necessitate
tolerance to overcome the constraints that conservation efforts face.
