Degradation of ecosystem and subsequent reduction in services are major problems tornsustain livelihoods in sub Sahara African region. As part of SSA Ethiopia faces variousrnhurdles related in environmental degradation particularly in plant and soil conservation.rnLand is one of the most important assets. However conversion of natural vegetation andrnhabitat destruction is main challenge in Mecha Woreda particularly in Addis Alem, FelegernHiwot and Midre Genet Kebeles. Although several stakeholders such as scientists, localrnand regional government bodies are working to improve plant and soil conservation, thernproblem persist in the study area due to inadequate efforts and various human inducedrnnegative impacts. This study aimed to identify the effect of human impact on plant and soilrnconservation, compare with similar area but model Kebele and come up at possiblernrecommendation related with the effect of human impact on plant and soil conservation onrnhill slope. Three sites were selected purposely due to the fact that they are devoid ofrnvegetation and highly eroded in the Woreda. Sampling design approach was used throughrnstratified random sampling for farmers’ questionnaire. Data was collected through fieldrnobservation, interview, questionnaire and secondary data from recorded document. Therndata was organized through tabular and analyzed in frequency, percentage andrnfiguratively. several factors contribute this study including poor socioeconomic conditions,rncutting of tree for fire wood, charcoal production, home construction, furniture’s andrninfrastructure expansion such as road construction. The result of the study showed soilrnerosion as a result of those human negative impacts. The present study showed severe soilrnerosion due to these anthropogenic factors.rnKeywords: Impact, Plant, Soil and Conservation.
