I am Assefa Deginew, born in 1988 E.C. (1995 G.C.) in Gidan Woreda, North Wollo Zone, Ethiopia. Growing up in a rural area nurtured my love for nature and conservation. I earned a BSc in Forestry (2011 E.C.) from Arba Minch University and an MSc in Biodiversity Conservation and Management (2014 E.C.) from Hawassa University. Since 2012 E.C., I have been a lecturer and researcher at Arba Minch University, focusing on sustainable land management and biodiversity conservation. Passionate about education and community engagement, I strive to promote sustainable practices and the preservation of Ethiopia's natural resources.
