Forests are crucial for ecosystem stability, societal advancement, and subsistence; however, environmental changes since the 1970s, including shifting agriculture, deforestation, urbanization, increasing human population, and drought, have significantly impacted the region. The purpose of this study was to investigate the status of temporal forest cover changes in the Benchi-Sheko zone in Southwestern Ethiopia. Two types of data were collected: spatial data from satellite images of 1973, 1988, 2003, and 2017, and GPS point data. GIS software, ERDAS version 2015 software, and a handheld GPS were used for data analysis. The data of both GIS from image classification and ERDAS quantification revealed that forest cover decreased from 46,306.17 (92.67%) hectares in 1973 to 27,937.89 (55.91%) hectares in 2017; therefore 18,368.28 hectares (36.76%) decrease in forest cover was detected in the last 44 years by an average annual change of 417.46 hectares and. Based on this, it is recommended that partners working on forest conservation in the locality should enhance local people’s awareness to protect forests and forest products in their day-to-day activities.
