About us
The Society is the main authority in the country on the avifauna of Ethiopia and exerts great efforts to save threatened species (e.g. Liben Lark, White-winged Flufftail) from extinction. It is very much specialized in environmental education and production of environment-related promotional publications that focus on species, sites, habitats and site-adjacent communities. To that effect, the Society has been successful in publishing and disseminating over 20 assorted thematic promotional publications to various audiences.
EWNHS promotes understanding, appreciation and conservation of nature by working closely with government and nongovernment conservation institutions, individuals, schools, higher learning institutions, community groups and other conservation organizations engaged in issues pertaining to conservation of biodiversity to ensure that the future generations treasure and protect Ethiopia’s natural heritage. It is very well experienced in working with and accommodating the interests of like-minded stakeholders and partners. As result of its work in collaboration with all stakeholders throughout Ethiopia, EWNHS has a wide supporter base and its relation with the Government of Ethiopia is very strong. It is the first national NGO in Ethiopia to sign a formal contract with Government to implement a biodiversity conservation project funded by GEF for five years.
