Bale Mountains, Ethiopia and PFM

To those of your interested in participatory forest management or an amazing place to go trekking, consider the Bale Mountains in Oromia, Ethiopia.

There's a National Park working on conservation and responsible tourism, and on the west end over by Dodola a community trekking project, namely an Integrated Forest Management Project (IFMP), has been in place for quite some years now. I'm sure there's been some research on it, and would make for a great location for a thesis on participatory forest management.
