 1 .Introduction

For any protected area seasonal wildlife and habitat inventory program is crucial activity to know wildlife
population size, sex ratio, group size, insufficient condition in their home ranges (in terms of food ,water ,
& shelter ) and typically to determine past and future trends of habitats and wildlife population most
probably for the application of appropriate managements. Knowing the Population size of a given
protected area helps to estimate the current carrying capacity of the conservation sites through
considering equilibrium condition. So, timely wildlife and habitat inventory program is a base line data for
the determination of conservation site’s carrying capacity while finding appropriate measures when the
number of wildlife species reaches below or above the carrying capacity of the specific protected area or
conservation sites. For the estimation of wildlife population, generally, there are two categories of wildlife
counting. These can be ground and aerial counting .Again ground counting technique may be under
taken in two ways: total and sample counting. Total counting is a means of counting the whole
individuals of the population either aerially or ground surveys while sample count is counting wildlife at
the specific sites of the area and take a representative of uncounted area by applying calculation with
the individual sampled from the selected sites. Aerial wildlife survey is used when the area to be
surveyed is wider, the land escape is difficult to walk or wildlife species to be counted is feared by man
.The other wildlife counting method is ground survey which is cheaper, to be used for smaller area as
well as used for familiar wildlife species to human beings

 2.Objective
To know the current key wildlife population size, abundance and distribution of
NechsarNationalParkin the categorized habitat types

3 .Description of the site

3.1 Location

NechSar National Park is located in the Southern Nation Nationalities and Peoples Regional State
(SNNPRS) of Ethiopia. The park lies within the floor of the Great Rift Valley and extends from 5° 51’
N to 6 ° 50’ N and from 37 ° 32’ E to 37 ° 48’ E with an elevation varying between 1,108 – 1,650
meters above sea level. The central part of the perk consists of grassland with some bushy areas. It
is also covered by extensive bush land, riverine forest and underground water forests that are
supported by the high water table associated with numerous springs in the western boundary of the
park .The park is bounded to the east by the amaro mountain, to the west by the town of arbaminch
and to the north and south by lakes abaya and chamo.
3.2 Climate

The NSNP can be characterized by a relatively hotter climatic condition. The temperature ranges from
12.2 °C to 34.3 °C. Annual rainfall follows bi-modal system and averages 880 mm, mostly falling in
March, April and May and between September and November.

4
3.3 Soil

The soil types of most parts of the low laying grassy plains, forest and bush land habitats are black
cotton in color where as the rugged mountainous parts have brown calcareous loam soil derived from
volcanic rock.

3.4 Drainage

Water is one of the important walfare factors which influence distribution of wild animals in the
environment .the glorious and resident wild animals of the park enjoy drinking fresh water throughout the
year from permanent river of kulfo and sermale, lakes of abaya and chamo, and harorappi . almost at
the western end of the park are also available famous springs known as arbaminch or forty spring
providing water for forest animals.there are hot srings in the park at varing location ,one located at the
foot of ganjule island and the other at filwuha, basd of the lower slopes of amaro mountain

Kulfo river, together with outflows from lake abaya and the fority springs, joins lake chamo\,while the
sermale river fllows southwards and forms the segan river that ends up in lakes stephanis. Lake abaya
and chamo are fresh water lakes with total surface areas of 1200km and 550km,respectively
(Bolton,1970).both arre shallow lakes with approximate depth of 12meter each of them is bordered for
the most part by dense marginal vegetations such as Typhaangustifolia and phragmitessp

4. Potentials of Wildlife species in Nechsar National park

Due to its broad and complex vegetation structure NechSar offers habitat to a great number of wild
animals, including more than 103 mammals species, 351 birds species, 16 fish species, 33 reptile
species, 8 water life and 700 to 1000 plant species in its hotter climate condition of the great rift
valley.This indicate that the site highly contribute for the country’s development in wildlife tourism.

6
The most notorious mammals are the ungulates. They can be divided as grazers like the zebras,
gazelles , which are common on the grasslands and dik-diks, duikers, lesser and greater kudus which
prefer bushland or the interface between bush and grassland, where they can hide from predators.

Among the predators there are the carnivores in Nechsar National park: black backed jackal
(Canismesomelas), side striped jackal (C. adustus), hunting dog (Lycaonpictus), cheetah
(Acinonyxjubatus), leopards (Pantherapardus), lion (Pantheraleo), serval cat (Felisserval), caracal (F.
caracal) and spotted hyena (Crocutacrocuta). There are twenty species of rodents and four species of
insectivores in the park, most of them in the grasslands.

In 1996 NechSar NP and its surroundings was declared Important Bird Area (IBA ET056) by Birdlife
International. Up to the moment 351 bird species have been recorded for this area, some of them are
birds on passage like the Lesser Kestrel Falco naumanni, with a few of these birds possibly wintering
here and Pallet Harrier Circus macrourus. Small numbers of the flamingo Phoenicopterus minor occur
on Lakes Chamo and Abaya.

The most notorious reptiles are obviously the Nile crocodiles in the lakes Chamo and Abaya. There are
also 15 lizard species, including 7 species of skinks, 2 chameleons, 3 geckos and the Nile monitor.
There are also 3 species of turtles / tortoises and 13 snake species, many of them are poisonous. In the
two lakes and their tributaries some 16 fish species have been identified, including the Nile perch, tilapia,
and catfish. In the chapter on fisheries in Lake Chamo there will be more detailed information.

Materials and Methods used

Based on habitat types and key wildlife distribution the park has divided in to ten counting zone. The
savanna zone and dense forest and woodland zone are used to conduct both wildlife and habitat
inventory. The savanna reference zone includes Nechsar plains grassland, Easter part Lake Abaya and
lake chamo shore, belete area to Gods bridge to sentaka area in woodland and bushland areas.
Whereas dense forest and woodland reference zone includes dense ground water forest, western part of
Lake Abaya and Chamo shore, wood and bushland areas up to Arfiyde and gada mountain area. Then
each zone was divided in to parts using manmade and natural references by considering the distribution
of wildlife species in the area. For Savanna zone the area is divided in to ten transect lines and for
dense forest and woodland zone the area is divide in to nine transect line.

In order to gets appropriate wildlife citing scouts and experts deployed to inventory site one day before
inventory day. A group of scouts and experts allocated on identified transect line and every inventory
groups start wildlife counting at early morning at the same time and finish at the same time in order to
avoid double count of wildlife. On savanna area every inventory groups started wildlife and habitat
inventory using handheld GPS and standard data collection format from the place which is considered
as a center for the savanna zone which is called ``Badagedala``, considering herbivore of the plain
starting time for forage. Like savanna zone distance is calculated and specific area is identified as center
for dense forest and woodland zone on place called ``Dibadibe`` and nine transects line identified from

9
the center and inventory group deploying on transects lines. The inventory team conduced wildlife and
habitat inventory through using handheld GPS and standard data collection format starting from the
place considered as center of dense forest and woodland zone up to end of the transect line.

Binocular, GPS, cameratrap, mammal’s guidebooks, papers, pen & pencils are common required
materials for the activity.

11. Conclusion
The inventory of wild animals using appropriate and survey techniques essential forwild life
management. This inventory is to conceder known the current key wildlife population size, abundance
and distribution of Nechsar National park in the categorized habitat types. According to ground transect
surveyed data result shown of this report, there are 908 Burchelle’s zebra , 397 Grant gazelles, 38
Greater kudus, lesser kudus, lions, 134 water back ,8 common back bush,32 comma warthogs, 2
black backed jackal 3spotted hyena,901 baboon ,107 Vervetmonkeydirect and indirect were observed
during inventory time . When compared with the previous dry /wet season wildlife counted /inventory
the population status /trend is decreased, formers a two season and the some part of the park the wild
life inventory ,monitoring and patrolling activity are not area coveraged around tsebel comp site
.sermally river shore and small nechsar /tinshunechsar plain. The main problems the conflict between
the two ethnic groups the park residents and kore people ,due to the two ethnic group conflicts the area
have no safety ,tourist are not visited ,the park experts and the park rangers are not frequently
monitoring and patrolling the part of the national park. Lastly change areal coverage of ecology
24
units,flood, enchroement area extent of invasive plant, settlement, agriculture, fragmentation,
deforestation, over grassing and wild life disease also others the main problems in the park

12 .Recommendation
 Government giving aspecial Attention to conservenechsar national park .

 The government should attempt to get fund from national and international organization to
translocate those people who live inside the park to minimize the disturbance of wild life and
ecological unit in the park.
