To address this issue, it is essential to leverage indigenous knowledge and practices related to food processing, preservation, and storage. This study assessed indigenous food preservation techniques among rural household heads in Wolaita Zone, Ethiopia. Using a cross-sectional survey design, 384 household heads were randomly selected and consented to collect data via structured questionnaires and observational checklists. The results indicated that 61.5% of respondents regularly preserve raw foods, 20.6% preserve cooked foods, and 16.7% preserve perishable items. The most commonly employed preservation methods were sun drying (33%), salting (23%), heating (18%), packing (9%), cooling (7%), fermentation (6%), and smoking (4%). Chi-square tests revealed significant associations between cooked food preservation and demographic factors such as sex, age, education, occupation, and monthly income (p &lt; .005). Similar associations were observed for raw and perishable foods, highlighting the influence of demographics on preservation practices. The study reveals a significant association between food preservation practices and demographic characteristics. Sun drying, salting, and heating were the most prevalent methods for food preservation in the study area. A significant portion of participants did not practice food preservation methods, indicating the need for education and awareness. Indigenous food preservation methods within cultural context are vital to reduce postharvest food losses and ensure food security. Efforts should be made to promote traditional practices, which not only enhance food preservation but also contribute to cultural heritage and food security.<\/p><p><strong>Keywords: <\/strong>Ethiopia, Food, Indigenous knowledge, Preservation, Wolaita.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1f0ea6c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1f0ea6c\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a960c8b\" data-id=\"a960c8b\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-62d4d7a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"62d4d7a\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-b36ad8f\" data-id=\"b36ad8f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9c6b969 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9c6b969\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ebi.gov.et\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2.-SOIL-AND-LITTER-CARBON-SEQUISTRATION-POTENTIAL-OF-COFFEE-AGROFORESTRY.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SOIL AND LITTER CARBON SEQUISTRATION POTENTIAL OF COFFEE AGROFORESTRY IN BERBERE DISTRICT, SOUTHEAST ETHIOPIA: IMPLICATIONS FOR CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION<br \/><\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-9ec40b6 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"9ec40b6\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-34281c6\" data-id=\"34281c6\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-da94dcc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"da94dcc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Kefa Feye<sup>1*<\/sup>, Kasahun Ture Beketiea<sup>2<\/sup>, Desalegn Yayeh Ayal<sup>3<\/sup><br \/><\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-666582b\" data-id=\"666582b\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19619b4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"19619b4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Publication Year: 2024, Page(s): 126 &#8211;

However, by large literature ignored the contribution of coffee agroforestry practices to carbon sequestration and improvement of production and ecological service. This study estimates the litter and soil organic carbon (SOC) stock contribution of coffee agroforestry and its implication to climate change mitigation. The coffee agroforestry of the study area which covered 261 hectares was divided into three shade cover types: monoculture, intermediate and dense. The carbon sequestration in litter and soil samples collected from each plot\u2019s centers were analyzed using titration method based on Walkley and Black methods. Regression equations were used to estimate litter and SOC stock. The result revealed that the carbon stored varies significantly across the shades. The litter pool monoculture shade stored 4.94 \u00b1 1.00 MgCha<sup>-1<\/sup>, the intermediate shade cover stored 6.83 \u00b1 0.73 MgCha<sup>-1<\/sup> and the dense shade cover stored 7.71 \u00b1 0.45 MgCha<sup>-1<\/sup>. Likewise, the soil pool carbon stored in monoculture, intermediate and dense shade covers was 29.07 \u00b1 8.48 Mg ha<sup>-1<\/sup>, 48.20 \u00b1 4.10 MgCha<sup>-1<\/sup> and 61.86 \u00b1 7.14 MgCha<sup>-1<\/sup> respectively. The SOC value was larger than the litter carbon in all shade categories. In both cases the highest carbon store was witnessed in the densely shade covers. Coffee agroforestry system is amongst climate change mitigation options with high potential to sequester carbon in the agricultural sector and play a crucial role to enhance the co-existence of ecosystem elements, increase production and services; hence, it should be promoted.<\/p>\n<strong>Keywords: <\/strong>Climate change mitigation, Coffee agroforestry, Litter, Soil organic carbon.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a0de500 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a0de500\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8e1a0de\" data-id=\"8e1a0de\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-6d18b88 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6d18b88\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-c6684a4\" data-id=\"c6684a4\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7234c3b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7234c3b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ebi.gov.et\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/3.-WOODY-SPECIES-DIVERSITY-AND-STRUCTURE-IN-THE-MAJOR-LAND-USES-OF-THE-GARA-MULETA.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WOODY SPECIES DIVERSITY AND STRUCTURE IN THE MAJOR LAND USES OF THE GARA MULETA WATERSHED IN EAST ETHIOPIA\u00a0<br \/><\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-1bb6535 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1bb6535\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-24e7009\" data-id=\"24e7009\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8628d17 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8628d17\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Tahir Abdela<sup>1* <\/sup>and Motuma Tolera<\/strong><strong><sup>2<\/sup><br \/><\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-ffb648b\" data-id=\"ffb648b\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f8e3770 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f8e3770\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Publication Year: 2024, Page(s): 146 &#8211;

Ensuring sustainable land use planning has a vital role in the successful implementation of biodiversity conservation. Hence, this study aimed to assess the change of woody species diversity and structure associated with land-use change in Gara Muleta, Eastern Ethiopia. For this study, four adjacent land uses, i.e., protected natural forest (PNF), disturbed forest (DF), plantation (PF), and cropland (CL), were considered. A total of 56 square plots having 35m x 35m size with nested plots of 25m x 25m, 7m x 7m, and 1m x 1m were laid systematically for trees with DBH &gt; 50cm, for trees and shrubs for DBH ranges 20-50 cm, for shrubs and for herbs respectively. Shannon index, Simpson\u2019s diversity index, Jaccard&#8217;s similarity, and Importance value Index were analyzed among land use types. One-way ANOVA was used to estimate the mean difference among the land use at p &lt; 0.05 using R software version 4.1.0. The result of this study revealed that H\u2019=3.5, H\u2019=2.5, H\u2019=1.6, and H\u2019=1.4 were recorded in the PNF, DF, CL, and PF respectively. This implies that converting natural forests into plantations and cropland and disturbing them leads to a significant loss of woody species diversity and disturbs normal forest structures. Hence, the synergy approach to the landscape, which could be the maintenance of biodiversity requires conservation activities that ensure sustainable uses of the forest and its products. Thus, halting land-use change is important to achieve effective conservation activity.<\/p><p><strong>Keywords: <\/strong>Basal Area, Disturbed forest, Important Value Index, Species richness.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-0cc1359 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"0cc1359\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-075ed66\" data-id=\"075ed66\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-b3f6637 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b3f6637\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-d335dcc\" data-id=\"d335dcc\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-77db382 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"77db382\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ebi.gov.et\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/4.-MEDICINAL-PLANTS-FOR-TREATING-ANIMAL-AILMENTS.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MEDICINAL PLANTS FOR TREATING ANIMAL AILMENTS: AN ETHNOVETERINARY STUDY IN MORETNA JIRU DISTRICT, NORTH SHEWA, ETHIOPIA\u00a0<br \/><\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-24b7770 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"24b7770\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-671d202\" data-id=\"671d202\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0ea2069 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0ea2069\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Tesfaye Tamiru Tassew<sup>1*<\/sup>, Alemtsehay Teka<sup>2,3<\/sup>, Abebe Aklilu<sup>3<\/sup><\/strong><strong><br \/><\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-af08f38\" data-id=\"af08f38\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a47b2e0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a47b2e0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Publication Year: 2024, Page(s): 165 &#8211;

This study was conducted to assess and document medicinal plants used to treat animal ailments in the Moretna Jiru district. Ethnobotanical data were collected from 210 informants through semi-structured interviews, group discussions, and field walks. A total of 25 medicinal plants representing 25 genera and 18 families were used to treat 18 animal ailments. The family Solanaceae (17.54%) was the most represented followed by Asteraceae (15.65%), and Polygonaceae (9.04%). Shrubs (63.43%) were the dominant growth forms followed by herbs (28.34%). Most of the medicinal plants were harvested from the wild (55.74%), from both wild and home gardens (24.70%) and home gardens (19.57%). Leaves (48.08%) were frequently used followed by roots (32.93%), and seeds (10.93%). Allium sativum L., and Artemisia abyssinica Sch. Bip were the preferred plant for treating the evil eye. Major ailments treated included evil eye (18.08%), leech infestation (13.36%), and blackleg (9.72%). Remedies were primarily administered orally (56.95%), followed by dermal (15.65%), neck application (15.38%), and ocular routes (6.48%). Climate change, agricultural land expansion, deforestation, and droughts are the major threats to medicinal plants. Indigenous knowledge was declining due to culture shifts, and lack of interest of the younger generations. Cultivation of some medicinal plants was the only conservation effort observed in the study area. Thus, conservation efforts in the area remain insufficient, and urgent actions are needed to protect medicinal plant biodiversity and associated traditional knowledge systems.<\/p><p><strong>Keywords: <\/strong>Animal, Ethnoveterinary, Indigenous knowledge, Medicinal plants, Moretna Jiru<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-64e9ab2 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"64e9ab2\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e7c0207\" data-id=\"e7c0207\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-f2dddee elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f2dddee\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-bcf8f55\" data-id=\"bcf8f55\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5b93e42 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5b93e42\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ebi.gov.et\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/5.-THE-SILENT-GLOBAL-CRISIS-HOW-CLIMATE-CHANGE-THREATENS-WILD-VERTEBRATE-TAXA.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wplink-edit=\"true\">THE SILENT GLOBAL CRISIS: HOW CLIMATE CHANGE THREATENS WILD VERTEBRATE TAXA\u00a0<br \/><\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-5e48017 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5e48017\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-2da3845\" data-id=\"2da3845\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f5f27b0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f5f27b0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Abeje Kassie<sup>*<\/sup><\/strong><strong><br \/><\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-f3236a5\" data-id=\"f3236a5\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-11d0c22 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"11d0c22\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Publication Year: 2024, Page(s): 189 &#8211;

Vertebrates, especially birds and amphibians, are crucial indicators and components of these ecosystems. However, they are being adversely affected by rapid climate changes, putting them at high risk of extinction. This paper examines the impact of climate change on various vertebrate taxa, focusing on mammals, birds, and herpetofauna. It highlights the specific vulnerabilities of these taxa to climatic stressors and the potential consequences for their survival and distribution. Additionally, it evaluates the implications of these impacts for conservation efforts and offers insights to inform the development of effective management plans and mitigation strategies. By synthesizing the latest research and findings, the paper aims to facilitate a deeper understanding of the complex interplay between climate change and vertebrate species.
