Pastoralism constitutes a unique and important way of life for a large proportion of the Ethiopia population. There are some 12-15 million agro-pastoralists, living in 7 regions. The pastoralist areas are characterized by unpredictable and unstable climatic conditions as well as ecologically fragile environments. At the same time, the livestock population in the pastoral areas is high with good quality domestic animals being known to be found on these regions. Rangeland covers more than 62% of the total landmass of the country, where mode of life of these people has been dependent on traditional way of living through opportunistic production of range vegetation and livestock products.Furthermore, the pastoral areas are rich in cultural &amp; traditional heritage, flora &amp; fauna diversities, habitat for game and non-game wildlife, recreational opportunities, valuable minerals and other resources which could lead to good tourism industry in the areas.<\/p><p>In order to maintain natural resources management, the role of ecotourism will have a great impact more in the rangeland regions where the widest conservation areas of the country are located. Moreover, incorporating elements of ecotourism in the program for applying the principles of sustainable development to everyday life of agro pastoral people in the areas are paramount.<\/p><p>M.Sc. in Animal Genetics and Breeding<br \/>Admission<\/p><p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Applicants must have completed the academic requirements for the Bachelor\u2019s degree in Animal Science, Biology or other related sciences from an accredited higher learning institutions.<br \/>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The candidate must pass qualifying (entrance) examination in the field of study.<br \/>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The candidate must be supported by at least three letters of recommendation preferably from the candidate\u2019s undergraduate instructors, employers and professional associations.<br \/>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Candidates from non-animal science graduates admitted to the programme may be required to take some basic courses from the under graduate program.
