• The park was established in 1969, having been
set up by Clive Nicol, who wrote about his
experiences in From the Roof of
Africa (1971, ISBN 0 340 14755 5).
• It was one of the first sites to be made a World
Heritage Site by UNESCO (1978). However, due
to serious population declines of some of its
characteristic native species, in 1996 it was also
added to the List of World Heritage in Danger.
23.
24. Clive Williams Nicol, MBE is a Welsh writer
and actor and a long-time resident and citizen of Japan.
• C.W. Nicol was
born in Neath,
Wales, and from a
young age
expressed an
interest
in wildlife and
the environment.
25. • He then spent two years (1967 to 1969) as a
game warden in Ethiopia, setting up the
new Semien Mountains National Park for the
Ethiopian Government. He returned to
Japan, writing a book about his Ethiopian
experiences: From the Roof of
Africa (1971, ISBN 0-340-14755-5).
27. The park is of global significance for
biodiversity conservation because it is
home to globally threatened species.
28. The undulating plateau of the Simien
mountains has over millions of years
been eroded to form precipitous cliffs
and deep gorges of exceptional natural
beauty.
29. The spectacular scenery of the Simien
mountains is considered to rival

30. Due to its topographic ruggedness,
comparatively large forest stands,
some in a more or less virgin state, still
exist;

and flora, and its traditional peasant farming
system, the area has a high potential for
tourism.
32. Threats to the
integrity of the park
include:
• Human settlement
• Cultivation
• Soil erosion, particularly around the village of
Gich
• Frequent fires in the tree heather forest
• Excessive numbers of domestic stock

requirements:

maintenance and increasing of staff levels and
training .
• Effective protection of the park’s flagship
species and close cooperation with local
communities.
34. • Significant financial support is needed for the
management of the park.
• Development of alternative livelihood options
for local communities.
• Development, implementation, review and
monitoring of a management plan and the
revision and extension of the park boundaries.
35. • Improving and
increasing ecotourism
facilities.
