الملخص

The broad objective of this research was to investigate the negative impact ofInternal Displaced Persons (IDPs) on the vegetation cover and the possibilityof restoring the natural environment affected by IDPs at ELGenina locality,more specifically; to assess the level of destruction of the vegetation cover inthe study area due to reliance on the vegetation cover for the provision of thenecessary needs for settlement for the IDPs. Two types of data were used tocollect the necessary information, namely, primary and secondary data. Thesource of the secondary data includes FNC, UN agency INGOS local NGOSdocuments, files articles, and annual report. The primary data were using twomethods; social survey through face-to-face interview with the IDPs andinventory of the vegetation cover in the study area to highlight the extent ofdegradation of the vegetation cover.The main findings of the research were; there are tremendous changes in theeconomical activities of the IDPs in the study area were the majority of theIDPs lost their sources of income generation which are mainly farming andprivate business. Trading on forest products (mainly fuelwood, charcoal andbuilding materials) become the source of income for a considerableproportion of the IDPs and this was reflected in alarming deforestation trend.It worth mentioning that the main causes of displacement in the study area isdue to natural resource-base conflicts. Climate change and variability is theresponsible factor behind the natural resources-base conflicts as perceived bythe IDPs. Natural and reserved forests represented settlement sites for theIDPs before establishment of IDPs camps. Accordingly, tree cover sacrificedto provide the necessary products for construction of shelters and provision ofsource of energy. Limited extension services were deployed to mobilize andsensitize IDPs to participate in rehabilitation of areas affected by theirresidence. The afforestation program confined to afforestation of the campsviiiwhere limited number of IDPs participated in the program. The majority ofthe IDPS assessed the afforestation program as successful. Inventory resultsrevealed a severe destruction of the vegetation cover where highly preferabletree species for fuelwood were overexploited and replaced by less preferablespecies. Usher, Mekhait and Gibaish become the dominant tree species on theexpense of Heglig, Haraz, Humaid, Aradaib and Sidir.The main conclusions drawn from the study were; natural and reserved forestsrepresented the main source for energy and building materials for the IDPs. Afictitious circle of about 10km around the IDPs camps is almost deprivedfrom the vegetation cover due to illicit felling and trading on forest products.It is possible to mobilize and sensitize IDPs to participate in afforestationprograms that lead to rehabilitation of deteriorated habitat. The mainrecommendation arrived at by this study is the importance of encouragingIDPs through changing in their attitudes to conserve the vegetation cover andtheir participation in rehabilitation of deteriorated environment.
