Abstract
This study examines the interplay between timber extraction, livelihoods, and environmental sustainability in Ethiopia's under-researched Sheka Zone. We employ a multi-method approach to assess practices and perspectives of loggers, foresters, and sawmill operators. Findings reveal a complex relationship, with semi-mechanized extraction emerging as a potential balance between economic viability and environmental responsibility. The research highlights the need for interventions like transitioning loggers to sustainable techniques and fostering knowledge exchange across stakeholders. This interdisciplinary study contributes to sustainable development discourse by exploring the economic viability of various extraction methods and advocating for policies that support both livelihoods and long-term environmental conservation
