Giant forest hogs in the Harenna Forest, Bale Mountains NP, Ethiopia The Harenna Forest is known for its native plants, mammals, amphibians and birds, including many endemic species. [2] One such endemic species is the tree Maytenus harenensis, which is also classified by the IUCN as vulnerable due to the threat of logging.[3]

The Harenna Forest was once habitat to packs of the endangered painted hunting dog, Lycaon pictus. However, the presence of this canid is now in question here due to the population pressures of expanding human presence.[4] The central Sanetti Plateau is home to the largest population of the rare and endangered Ethiopian wolf.
