The aim of the thesis is to find a model for the management of forested buffer zones of nature reserves that would minimize the requirements for state financing through an economic motivation of inhabitants for protection and sustainable development of the area. The model was developed and implemented in the National Forest Priority Area Adaba-Dodola, which serves as a buffer zone for the Bale Mountains National Park in the South-Eastern Highland of Ethiopia. The strategy is based on integration of forestry activities with rural development of the region. The following activities are recommended: sustainably balancing the demand for wood products with the annual increment, regulating forest utilization by the population through licensing, protection of forest regeneration against cattle browsing, sharing of responsibilities for forest management between the communities and the forest administration, benefit sharing accrued from forest utilization, support of private afforestations on non-forest land and establishment of private nurseries.
