Mount Entoto Eucalyptus Forest above Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The sacred forests of nothern Ethiopia. The tradition of women collecting and carrying enormous bundles of firewood is the backbone of rural Ethiopian culture and survival. Women, young and old, from across rural parts of Africa’s second-most populous country trudge as far as 15km (9 miles) a day to collect Eucalyptus branches, bark and even dried leaves to sell at market as firewood and charcoal for as little as $1 to $3 a day.
