5. Conclusion and Recomendation
The study surveyed medium and big-sized mammalian fauna of Arjo Diga
forest that is one of the recently established biodiversity conservation
area in western Ethiopia. The modern examined the vicinity of our
results can also make contributions to a higher expertise the quantity
of medium and large mammalian species, together with endangered species
which includes Panthera Leo and Panthera pardus were recorded in place,
indicating the location has attainable for biodiversity conservation.
moreover, Papio Anubis and Cercopithecus aethiops had been the maximum
recorded While, Panthera Leo, Panthera pardus Leptailurus serval,
Civettictis Civetta, Canis adustus, and Orycteropus afer were the least
recorded within the study region across the habitat types and seasons.
This is the first ecological record of the abundance, species range, and
distribution of the mammals inside have a look region, which would serve
as precious baseline data for the federal and nearby governments must
legalize as a wildlife refuge location to conserve mammals of the area.
On the other hand, due to a lack of commitment and a weak penal system,
agricultural encroachment and illegal logging appear to be unregulated.
People who have encroached on the forest’s defined areas are still
causing problems that must be addressed if the forest is to be
recovered. Therefore, to reduce the influence of anthropogenic
activities on the study area’s wildlife, joint conservation practices
with the local community must be initiated to conserve and enhance the
welfare of mammals that arise in the area. In so doing, a lengthy‐term
comprehensive evaluation of mammals desires to be documented and the
provision of know-how-based conservation and management tasks have to
receive in place.
