“…The climate was hot and muggy from March to May during the dry season and dry from June to August. Average monthly temperatures are 19°C-21°C, and yearly precipitation ranges from 1272-1397 mm (Kibret and Tulu, 2014). The natural forest is home to a diverse range of large and small creatures, birds, and plant species like Acokanthera schimperi, Calpurnia aurea, Capparis tomentosa, Ficus ovata, Sapium ellipticum and Syzygium guineense.…”

Climate change poses one of the most significant challenges humanity has ever encountered, potentially underpinning the ongoing global warming phenomenon. Tropical forests play a crucial role in mitigating climate change by absorbing and storing carbon from the atmosphere. However, there has been limited research on carbon sequestration and emission reduction in Ethiopia. This study aimed to assess the carbon stock of the Qimbaba forest non-destructively, utilizing 40 circular sample plots and an allometric equation. The results indicated that the total carbon stock of the plantation forest was estimated at 24.98 t/ha-1, with 20.34 ± 0.18 t/ha-1 attributed to natural trees and 4.64 ± 0.1 t/ha-1 to nurse trees. Above-ground carbon was calculated at 16.01 ± 0.14 t/ha-1 for natural forest and 3.65 ± 0.08 t/ha-1 for nurtured trees in the plantation forest. Below-ground carbon values were determined to be 4.32 ± 0.04 t/ha-1 for natural forests and 0.99 ± 0.21 t/ha-1 for nurse trees in plantation forests. The findings suggest that the Qimbaba forest significantly contributes to climate change mitigation. To capitalize on this potential and receive financial incentives, it is recommended to integrate the forest into programs such as REDD+ and CDM of the Kyoto Protocol.

Currently, large industries like agro-processing and garment (Textile and Leather) industries in Ethiopia have interested to implement CSR activities. Hence, this study examined the causal relationship between stakeholders' and CSR implementation in agro-processing and garment industries based on employees' perceptions. After reviewing several works of literature we developed CSR implementation measurements. For analysis of CSR implementation, a total of 891 respondents were taken from agro-processing and garment industries of the Amhara region, Ethiopia. Then we applied frequency, percentage, Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation model for this data analysis. The empirical result showed that environment, customer, owner/shareholder, community have a significant positive effect on CSR implementation in agro-processing and garment industries. However, it was also confirmed that employees have a negative significant effect on CSR implementation. Consider identified evidence of determinant factors of CSR implementation, managers of agro-processing and garment industries should take actions to improve CSR implementation and to alleviate those problems.
