Ethiopian church forests: a socio-religious conservation model under change
This study investigates church forests in northern Ethiopia. It sheds light on how these dynamic socio-religious spaces preserve these unique surviving pockets of the endemic native forests, but at the same time present a threat to its survival. It contributes to the understanding of the little known interaction between church forest communities and their environment.
