    Ethiopia is a landlocked country in East Africa that is slightly smaller than twice the size of Texas. It has a tropical highland climate and terrain that includes high plateaus divided by the Great Rift Valley. Ethiopia has a poverty-stricken agricultural economy that employs 85% of the population and relies heavily on coffee exports, with a GDP per capita of just $1,000. The country is home to 31 endemic species, though wildlife populations are declining due to threats from human activity like hunting and pollution.
