The Yayu Coffee Forest Biosphere Reserve is situated in Ilu Abba Bora Zone of the Oromia Regional State, southwestern Ethiopia. It is the center of origin for the most popular coffee in the world, Coffea arabica. Yayu is the largest and most important forest for the conservation of the wild populations in the World. The area plays a key role in the conservation of natural and cultural landscapes. The biosphere reserve includes Eastern Afromontane Biodiversity Hotspot and Important Bird Areas of international significance. The area is also of cultural and historical significance since it possesses many archaeological sites, ritual sites, caves and waterfalls. Declaration Date: 2010 Surface Area: 167,021 ha Administrative Division: Oromiya National Regional State, Oromiya Forestry andWildlife Enterprise, Illubabor Branch, Illubabor ZoneLand and Environmental Protection, Six Districts Administration,Oromiya Bureau of Land and Environmental Protection,Oromiya Forestry and Wildlife Enterprise,Oromiya Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Developmentand Ministry of Science and Technology Human activitiesThe transition area is found adjacent to the buffer zone and it is composed of agricultural land, wetland, grassland,settlement area and fragments of forest land. All the management units (core, buffer, transition) in the proposed biosphere reserve are contiguous; but there are five core areas. About 154,300 permanent residents live in the biosphere reserve and mainly rely on agriculture. The designation as a biosphere reserve is expected to enhance ecologically sound and traditional agriculture, to foster ecotourism and to create new jobs in small businesses such as coffee, bee-keeping, spices and horticulture activities. Within the biosphere reserve framework, local communities are familiarized with the wise use of natural resources and sustainable development techniques, and the implementation of conservation projects. Currently, two projects funded by the German Federal Agency for Conservation and German Federal Ministry of Education and Research are being implemented in the proposed biosphere reserve: Conservation and use of the wild populations of Coffea arabica in the montane rainforests of Ethiopia and Public awareness and environmental education project.
