    "description": "<p>Mountain Nyala (Tragelaphus buxtoni) is one of the endemic and endangered wild animals that<br>\nfounds in the confined Afro-alpine areas of Bale mountain national Park. In recent years their<br>\npopulation is contentiously decreasing and some are left in Bale Mountains and only few are left<br>\nin Arsi Mountains. Furthermore, its habitat is poorly understood and makes the conservation<br>\nactivities more difficult. The current study was taken place in Dinsho District at Hora-Soba and<br>\nGojera specified sites of Mountain Nyala in Bale Mountains National Park. The objectives of the<br>\nstudy were to understand to what extent human settlements and livestock impact on population of<br>\nMountain Nyala in Bale Mountains National Park. All detailed information of human settlement<br>\nand magnitude of livestock grazing on the food availability of Mountain Nyala were collected<br>\nthrough semi-structured, focus group discussion and stratified random sampling.The sample size<br>\n153 and descriptive statistics was employed to analyze the data. Results showed that 76% of<br>\nhouseholds living in and around the Park earned direct benefit from the Park through livestock<br>\ngrazing 43%, farmland 31%, construction materials 18% and firewood collection 8% that<br>\nimpacted the habitats of Mountain Nyala. The livelihood benefits of the local community linked to<br>\nthe Bale Mountains National Park that highly affected the National Park is farmland holding<br>\ninside the National Park by the Villages. A total of twenty four plants species were identified and<br>\nrecorded in the study area and most of them were over exploited by farmers. The results of the<br>\nstudy also showed that farmers in Gojera and Hora-Sobba sites of Dinsho District encroached to<br>\nthe territories of the Park with their herds of cattle that might affect the habitat of Mountain<br>\nNyala. Hence the number of Mountain Nyala is extremely getting decreasing from time to time.<br>\nThus raising awareness among the society and finding alternative ways of income generating<br>\nactivities for the farmers should be considered</p>",
