Abstract:
Human-carnivore conflicts, particularly with species like the Spotted Hyena (Crocuta
crocuta), are common and escalating in Ethiopia. These conflicts are especially pronounced
in areas where human populations and livestock coexist with wildlife. The
Spotted Hyena (Crocuta crocuta), which are abundant in human dominated landscape of
Ethiopia, are among the large carnivores causing human wildlife conflict. Thus, the main
objective of this study was to assess Human-Hyenas Interactions and its implication to
Ecotourism development in Arsi Mountains National Park (Dilfekar Site).The data was
collected from April 2024 to October 2024.Both descriptive and observational research
designs and proportionate stratified random sampling technique were employed
