As in many parts of the country, uncontrolled population growth created high population density in Humbo wereda, wolayita zone, SNNPR. These have lead Humbo community to encroach into the forest for expansion of farm and grazing land, charcoal production, firewood collection and search of construction materials among others. As a result, the mountain becomes unproductive. These have resulted in severe soil erosion, silt load, gulley formation, and low crop yield in downstream areas. To avert the situation and improve the resilience capacity of the community against climate change and ensure sustainable development, WVE started to implement Humbo Project with the objective of restoring the 2728ha of a degraded mountain as a priority area.
