  ABSTRACT
  Though there is plenty of theoretical evidence supporting the economic and social reasons of biodiversity loss, empirical evidence for the majority of these links is sparse, if not non-existent. The loss of habitats, the introduction of foreign species, over-harvesting of biodiversity resources, and species homogeneity in agriculture are all important biological drivers for the loss of biological diversity. All of these factors have one thing in common: they are all human-driven. More research is needed in this area. It is also debatable and questioned if existing biodiversity-conservation strategies provide adequate responses to these core causes of biodiversity loss and are capable of effectively counteracting the loss of biodiversity-related cultural values, biological species, and ecosystems. This review study provides an overview of the economic and societal factors that contribute to biodiversity loss in Ethiopia, as well as prospective opportunities. It also indicates the obstacles and future directions that should be implemented. Only theoretical considerations and overviews of current estimations are used in the analysis. Better promotion of practical conservation methods, community-based management techniques, and sector-based conservation and integration should be applied throughout the entire resource region to scale up biodiversity conservation loss.
