Forest cover changes in southwest Ethiopia have significant social and environmental implications. This study explored the primary drivers effects of forest from 1986 to 2019 region. A mixed‐methods approach was employed, combining socioeconomic data, geospatial both global locally adapted ecosystem services value (ESV) coefficients. The findings indicated a decline attributed its conversion human‐modified land types, with approximately 87.3 percent respondents acknowledging this reduction area. intricate factors driving include agricultural expansion, population growth, grabbing, fuelwood collection, illegal logging, highlighting necessity for multifaceted tackle these challenges. Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that various sociodemographic significantly influenced ( p < 0.05) respondents’ perceptions regarding change. ESV over three timeframes decrease around US$226.75 million US$172.81 million, equating total loss 23.79%. shrublands fell by 46.35%, wetlands 32.63%, dense forests 23.77%, open 17.29% during evaluation period. In contrast, cropland rose 38.06% agroforestry 20.03%. Significant services, like water supply disturbance regulation, faced reductions 30%. Correlation reveals conservation strategies are linked deforestation, suggesting integrated approaches can mitigate deforestation promote sustainable resource management. Positive attitudes toward afforestation, enhanced enforcement, community management, improved practices highlight opportunities collaborative efforts. Achieving requires increased engagement governance, along comprehensive policies address their impacts on services.

The study examined the impacts of climate change (CC) on provisioning services (PSs) and livelihood benefits in wetlands Abijata Shala Lakes National Park, Ethiopia. Data from 339 residents highlighted a significant awareness CC PSs. Essential offered by wetlands, including thatching grass, water supply, timber, medicinal plants, have declined since 1991, with exception grazing cropland. These changes adverse repercussions local food security, income, livestock productivity, sanitation, timber availability. Conservation strategies are crucial to protect ecosystem improve resilience.
