Forest coverage is the main indicator of the level of resource degradation. This is very apparentrnin the highlands of Ethiopia, which are identified among the critically endangered eco-regions ofrnthe world. As part of these highlands, Wondogent forest, which is located in Wondogent woreda,rnfor instance, is one of the disturbed resources we have in the country. Assessing and explainingrndeterminants of people's knowledge, attitude and practice towards forest conservation is the keyrnobjective of the study. An interview was conducted to collect the data. Literatures and Internetrnsources were also assessed during the study. The analysis is made at the individual level wherernthe household listing served as the sampling frame. Random sampling was used to identify thern415 interviewees and Bi-variate and Multivariate logistic regression was used to examine thernrelationship between the set of independent variables and the dependent variable. The findings ofrnthe study show that considerable proportions of the target population have no knowledge of thernresource. Even among those who have the knowledge of the resource, the majority do not knowrnthe status of the forest currently. People's perception of the long term impact of the current forestrndestruction is also found to be so weak. There are also much higher percentage of respondentsrn(across all the demographic and socioeconomic characteristics) with no knowledge ofrnconservation, negative attitude and poor practice of conservation. According to the result of thernmodel, place of residence, sex and household size are identified as significantly important factorsrnto affect knowledge of conservation. In terms of attitude place of residence, age and literacyrnstatus are found to be important factors to affect attitude of the people towards conservationrnmeasures. Based on such findings of the study, among others, provision of an extensivernenvironmental awareness education, development of alternative energy and income source arernforwarded as recommendations .
