Ethiopia definitely has some major problems to deal with. For one, the country has had extreme success in lowering HIV infections, and if this could continue the infections could reach an all time low in future years.This could also help to create more workers so that the Ethiopian economy can begin to improve as well. In order for these new workers to be given jobs Ethiopia will need to get more foreign companies and investors into the country so that the economy can grow. As well, I believe that the growing problems with deforestation could begin to decrease now that the effects it is creating have been noticed. The deforestation decrease can be also helped by an increasing economy since the country would not need to rely on the use of wood for money any more.

Along with recent environmental concerns, Ethiopia has been dealing with mass HIV infections throughout the country. Since the economic standing has drastically declined in recent years, citizens are forced to sell their bodies for the money needed to support their families. This has allowed the epidemic to spread like a wild fire. The governemt has worked around the clock to find a solution, and has been able to cut infections by half in the past few years.

The country of Ethiopia has several major geographic features which can be quite advantageous to the inhabitants of the area. Some features include the Great Rift Valley, Simian Mountains, Afar depression (lowest point -410 feet), Ras Dejen (highest peak 14928 feet), and Lake Tana in the north. One of the most dominant features, the Ethiopian Highlands, created a natural defense system for the inhabitants of the country to use against foreigners. The climate of the country is split into three different zones Kolla (tropical), Woina Dega (subtropical), and (high elevated cool zone). These different climates allow for a range of vegetation to grow, not just one type of plant for one purpose. There are four major biomes savannah, mountain, tropical groves and wooded steppe, and desert. Bamboo is common in savanah, and a wide range of endemic flora live in mountains. Wide range of tropical groves lie in the Great Rift Valley within the country.

Politically the country if failing. As well as the previously discussed poor governance, minimal education, and corruption, high official jobs are given to those with little to no experience. This lack of stability drives away investors. This poor government makes the area nearly unlivable. Ethiopia faces several problems regarding their environment. Deforestation has created major concern for the countries natural geography and population, since deforestation has been the leading cause of rural decline and land degradation. Land degradation is the decline in the natural earth in a country making agriculture extremely hard to sustain. The country also faces severe water pollution within their major water supplies. This has created struggles with supplying water for the citizens of the country.

Fluctuation of flooding and droughts leaving the economy desperate pulling out of education funds having an illiteracy rate of 42%
