This study tries to assess human-wildlife conflict in Gimbo Woreda, Kafa Zone (SNNPR),rnSouthern Ethiopia. The study was conducted from February 2016 to July 2016. The methodsrnemployed were field observation, to estimate the population size of pest primates using total countrnin the entire study area and to observe and estimate crop loss due to crop raiders, structuredrnquestionnaires and interview for gathering information about crop loss by wild animals. Totalrncount was used to estimate population of most common wild animals in the sampled forest. Onernway ANOVA was used to analyze the amount of crop lost in the study area, and Chi-square testrnwas used to analyze association of HWC, number of Anubis baboon and vervet monkey betweenrndry and wet season and damage events registered between sites. From the study, four primaternspecies were identified: namely Anubis baboon, vervet monkey, Black and white colobus and bluernmonkey. Of these Anubis baboon and vervet monkey were known as the worst pest primates ofrnall. In addition, bush pig, porcupine, warthog and rodents were identified as damage- causing wildrnanimals. The present study also revealed that a total count of 332 and 293 Anubis baboon and 332rnand 372 vervet monkey population occurred in the study area during the dry and wet seasonrnrespectively. Thirty-nine percent of maize was damaged by Anubis baboon and vervet monkeyrnfrom the total estimated maize plant (22,183), and 6% was damaged by other pest primates suchrnas bush pig, warthog, porcupine and rodents. Most damages occurred during the flowering andrnFruiting stages and serious damage was seen in the wet season. The response of the respondentsrnshowed statistically significant difference for each type of conflict; namely, crop damage only,rnboth crop damage and livestock predation, destruction of traditional beehives and destruction ofrnhuts and disturbing of humans respectively are the main troubles in the study area x2=83.122,rnP
