    <dct:description>&lt;p&gt;Mountain Nyala (Tragelaphus buxtoni) is one of the endemic and endangered wild animals that&lt;br&gt; founds in the confined Afro-alpine areas of Bale mountain national Park. In recent years their&lt;br&gt; population is contentiously decreasing and some are left in Bale Mountains and only few are left&lt;br&gt; in Arsi Mountains. Furthermore, its habitat is poorly understood and makes the conservation&lt;br&gt; activities more difficult. The current study was taken place in Dinsho District at Hora-Soba and&lt;br&gt; Gojera specified sites of Mountain Nyala in Bale Mountains National Park. The objectives of the&lt;br&gt; study were to understand to what extent human settlements and livestock impact on population of&lt;br&gt; Mountain Nyala in Bale Mountains National Park. All detailed information of human settlement&lt;br&gt; and magnitude of livestock grazing on the food availability of Mountain Nyala were collected&lt;br&gt; through semi-structured, focus group discussion and stratified random sampling.The sample size&lt;br&gt; 153 and descriptive statistics was employed to analyze the data. Results showed that 76% of&lt;br&gt; households living in and around the Park earned direct benefit from the Park through livestock&lt;br&gt; grazing 43%, farmland 31%, construction materials 18% and firewood collection 8% that&lt;br&gt; impacted the habitats of Mountain Nyala. The livelihood benefits of the local community linked to&lt;br&gt; the Bale Mountains National Park that highly affected the National Park is farmland holding&lt;br&gt; inside the National Park by the Villages. A total of twenty four plants species were identified and&lt;br&gt; recorded in the study area and most of them were over exploited by farmers. The results of the&lt;br&gt; study also showed that farmers in Gojera and Hora-Sobba sites of Dinsho District encroached to&lt;br&gt; the territories of the Park with their herds of cattle that might affect the habitat of Mountain&lt;br&gt; Nyala. Hence the number of Mountain Nyala is extremely getting decreasing from time to time.&lt;br&gt; Thus raising awareness among the society and finding alternative ways of income generating&lt;br&gt; activities for the farmers should be considered&lt;/p&gt;</dct:description>
