EWB in Ethiopia

Over the last 20 years, loss of habitat and poaching have reduced the population of several species of wild animal in Ethiopia, but the decline is most marked in larger mammals like the African elephant. Ethiopia has lost nearly 90% of its elephant populations since the 1980’s, with the total number estimated at 1,200 in 2007, according to the Ethiopian Wildlife Conservation Authority (EWCA). To date, the elephant numbers are speculative, so as part of the Great Elephant Census, EWB has set out to try and find what remnant populations are left.
