The human-wildlife conflict is the name given to the conflict between humans and wild animals. It hurt people as well as wild creatures. Even though it is well-known and happens everywhere, the vulnerability of developing countries is greater than that of developed countries. In Ethiopia, human-wildlife conflict is a major concern, particularly among those who live near protected areas. In Ethiopia, a lot of research has been done to determine the magnitude and intensity of the animal conflict. The investigations, on the other hand, are limited to a single area and animal species. The goal of this review is to give an overview of the scale of the human-wildlife conflict in Ethiopia. The damage of habitat has increased human-wildlife conflict. The destruction of natural wildlife habitats occurs when forest areas are cleared for food and crop cultivation. Construction projects for roads and railways, dams, housing and infrastructure, energy production, and a variety of other development projects are among them. These people raise cattle, goats, and sheep by migrating from one location to another in search of grazing water and grass, which they do primarily on a seasonal basis whether it's within a country or across international borders. The human population has risen overtime at the expense of other species on the planet, such as wild animals. In Ethiopia, crop damage is also a major source of human-wildlife conflict. People's negative views and perceptions of wildlife have an impact on the intensity and scope of this conflict. This is primarily due to wild animals migrating near human settlements and living near humans as a result of disruption or loss of their natural habitat. Both wildlife and humans suffered as a result of this battle. To reduce the severity of the problem, raising awareness among the local rural community and improving wildlife management policies are critical.
