This article seeks to understand the norms, beliefs and practices of this sacred geography in its social and religious context, arguing that ignorance of or inattention to these can undermine the conservation goals that have brought these forests, along with so many other sacred natural sites, to the attention of environmentalists around the world. We argue that the conservation of Ethiopian church forest is not intentional, but rather an indirect result of the religious norms, beliefs and practices surrounding the sites.
