Guassa Community Conservation Area, Protected area in Menz region, Ethiopia
The Guassa Conservation Area spans 100 square kilometers of high altitude grasslands between 3,200 and 3,700 meters above sea level in central Ethiopia.
The area demonstrates a 400-year history of natural resource management through the Qero system, where elected chiefs oversee resource distribution and protection.
The Amhara people of Menz Gera district maintain traditional practices, including the creation of wool rugs and blankets in the village of Tebab.
Visitors can reach the conservation area by traveling 80 kilometers from the main highway and arrange guided tours to observe Ethiopian wolves and gelada monkeys.
The conservation area serves as a critical habitat for the Ethiopian wolf, one of the rarest canids on Earth, with fewer than 450 individuals remaining globally.
