Having written new 'state of the art' conservation documents for the Ethiopian Government we feel that we have already had an impact upon Ethiopian thinking and planning with regards to environmental protection and conservation.

Excellent interview with Nick Crane of Simien Lodge

Click on the link to read about how we are not the only ones pushing tourism here in Ethiopia.  Nick is another Brit who is about 6 years ahead of us in the other major National Park in Ethiopia, the Simien Mountains National Park.  He is passionate about Ethiopian Tourism and has been instrumental in much of the recent rise in tourist numbers on the back of which Ethiopia is greatly benefiting.  I am deeply involved with this debate here in Ethiopia and we get a very small mention under the same subject and as part of the broad question of 'why is it British Entrepreneurs who are making the running and not the Ethiopian Government?'.
