This study was conducted to assess human wildlife conflict with special emphasis on pestrnprimate around Gendo Gura Tirigni forest, Gida Ayana district, Western Ethiopia fromrnSeptember 2015 to July 2016.The main objective of the study was to identify the cause andrneffect of human wildlife conflicts, to estimate the population of primate pest in the study site, tornestimate the amount of crops destroyed by pest primate, to identify the major human pest primaternin the study sites. Based on the information obtained from the preliminary survey, data wasrncollected by field observation, questionnaires and interview. Field observation using line transectrnwas used to estimate the crop loss due to pest primates and to estimate the population size of pestrnprimates. Structured questionnaires and interview were used for gathering information aboutrncrop loss by pest primates. The collected data was analyzed by SPSS and Chi-square test wasrnused to compare number of Anubis baboon counted during dry and wet season. From the studyrnsite three pest species were identified, namely vervet monkey(Chlorocebus aethiops),Colobusrngureza (Colobus abyssinicus) and anubis baboon (Papio anubis).33.28% of maize was damagedrnby these pest primates from the total estimated maize plant (48,208) and most maize damagesrnwere noticed during the tassle and ripen stages. Serious damage was seen in wet seasonrncompared with to dry season. Respondents reported habitat disturbance, proximity of naturalrnforest, increased subsistence agriculture and increased of wild animalsâ€™ population as causes ofrnHWC. As Gendo Gura Tirigni forest was surrounded by extensive farmlands, the area needs arnclose follow up and detailed studies to identify current human-wildlife conflict in the area.rnKey words: Gendo Gura Tirigni Forest, Papio anubis, Colobus monkey, crop raiding,rnHuman-wildlife conflict
