Expand ex-situ conservation and education in Addis Ababa to include in-situ conservation and community engagement in three key biodiversity areas in Ethiopia: Semien Mountains National Park, Harena-Bale, Sheka-Bonga-Yayu biosphere reserves and Konso-Segen.Train people in three communities to better manage and restore 50 indigenous plant species on site, while also collecting genetic material for an additional 250 species to study and preserve at the garden headquarters in the capital city.No final report available for this project.

Strategic Direction: 2 Improve the protection and management of the KBA network throughout the hotspot.
