The Harenna Forest is a montane tropical evergreen forest in Ethiopia's Bale Mountains. The forest covers the southern slope of the mountains, extending from 1450 to 3200 meters in elevation. The Bale Mountains are in Ethiopia's Oromia Region and form the southwestern portion of the Ethiopian Highlands.[1]
It is one of the few remaining natural forests in the country, and also the largest. The Harenna Forest is known for its native plants, mammals, amphibians and birds, including many endemic species.[2] The montane climate of the southern Bale Mountains sustains plant communities distinct from those of the adjacent lowlands and from montane forests elsewhere in the Ethiopian Highlands.[1]
