Crop damage is a major form of human-primate conflict that not only affects the livelihoods of farmers living close to forest areas but also threatens nonhuman primate conservation. This study aimed to investigate the causes of crop loss and foraging by nonhuman primates in southwest Ethiopia. For the purpose of gathering data, we used a questionnaire and direct observation. We employed simple random sampling techniques to select villages and respondents. From the nine selected villages, a total of 130 household samples were identified for the questionnaire. The primates responsible for crop damage were olive baboons and grivet monkeys. Maize, barley, teff, potatoes, sorghum, and other crops were among those foraged by the nonhuman primate species. Farmland close to the woodland boundary suffered more damage than farmland further away. The total amount of maize damaged by the olive baboons and grivet monkeys in the selected kebeles varied significantly. The majority of the respondents used guarding, and a few of them used scarecrows to protect crops from damage by primates. The highest crop damage occurred in the Atiro Tigre and Arigno Gefere villages, while the lowest occurred in the Sedecha villages. The flowering stage of the maize suffered the most, and the seedling stage suffered the least, from grivet monkeys foraging. The growth of crops that are less edible to nonhuman primates, especially on the forest edges, would lessen crop damage.

An agricultural land in Wuhu City is planned for primary and secondary schools in the future. Pollution identification shows that there are potential sources of pollution in the land and its peripheral areas. Preliminary sampling results show that: The soil monitoring index of the land is lower than the relevant screening value of soil environmental quality of the first type of development land; except for turbidity, other indicators in the groundwater are lower than the limit value of category IV of the groundwater quality standard, and the overall water quality of groundwater is good. This survey site is not a contaminated site, and there is no need to carry out follow-up detailed investigation and risk assessment, which can meet the requirements for the subsequent safe development and utilization of the plot.

Regional planning has become a strategy to promote coordinated development between regions. River basins can integrate water ecology and regional development and become a regional planning unit for green development. Regional planning with river basins as the planning scope has become a strategic choice to enhance regional green, low-carbon and high-quality development. Shandong province is an important province in the high quality development of the Yellow River basin. Taking the scope of Tuhai river basin as the planning unit, promoting regional development through valley regional planning should be an important measure to implement the central planning outline. Drawing on the successful case of Emscher River basin planning in the world, this paper puts forward the idea of compiling the regional planning of Tuhai river basin and the regional planning framework of the network spatial structure.
