The Yayo Natural Coffee Forest Reserve in southwest Ethiopia is one of the most beautiful enchanting areas with its dense forest, especially the original and natural Ethiopian coffee trees.
The Yayo natural coffee forest has become a major source of livelihood for its coffee quality and a picturesque tourist destination.
The Yayo Natural Coffee Forest Reserve is located in the Elwababor region of the Oromia region in southwestern Ethiopia, while it is bordered to the south by the Peoples of Southern Ethiopia region, and to the west by the Benishangul Gemuz region.
God has endowed this region with the natural beauty in which many living creatures live, as one of the biosphere reserves registered by UNESCO since 2010.
Specialists in the field of environment and forests in the Oromia region conducted a study, which was supervised by the Oromia Foundation for Environment, Forests and Climate Change, in partnership with the Wildlife Foundation in the region, on a study to identify the potential and natural resources in the Forest Biosphere Reserve, known as the Yayo Forest in southwest Oromia, and a plan Prospects for the employment and protection of natural resources in the Yayo forest in the region.
The study includes strategies to conserve biodiversity resources, and sustainable ways to achieve development goals for local communities by considering traditional, cultural, spiritual aspects and potential logistical functions.
The Ethiopian government considers the Yayo forest in the Oromia region to be one of the important resources in the region, as it has been working to preserve it by promoting a sustainable balance between biodiversity conservation and green economic use, in partnership between the public and private sectors, and directing interdisciplinary research and education towards it.
The Oromia Provincial Government has always emphasized that the conservation of the Biosphere Reserve has multiple environmental, economic and socio-cultural functions, providing services such as food, water, air, shelter, soil, natural resources, climate regulation, flood control, carbon storage, aesthetic values, agriculture, tourist attractions, fishing and folk medicinal practices.
The roots of the discovery of coffee go back to Ethiopia, at the hands of a shepherd from the "Oromo" tribe, who discovered the tonic effect of the coffee bean plant.
And the shepherd noticed in one of the hills of Ethiopia that the herd of goats jumped with uncharacteristic activity and climbed rocks at an unfamiliar speed, whenever the goats ate the fruits of the bushes, so he rushed to taste them and began to feel an increased vitality and strong energy that he had not known before.
