As part of SSA Ethiopia faces various hurdles related in environmental degradation particularly in plant and soil conservation. Land is one of the most important assets. However conversion of natural vegetation and habitat destruction is main challenge in Mecha Woreda particularly in Addis Alem, Felege Hiwot and Midre Genet Kebeles. Although several stakeholders such as scientists, local and regional government bodies are working to improve plant and soil conservation, the problem persist in the study area due to inadequate efforts and various human induced negative impacts. This study aimed to identify the effect of human impact on plant and soil conservation, compare with similar area but model Kebele and come up at possible recommendation related with the effect of human impact on plant and soil conservation on hill slope. Three sites were selected purposely due to the fact that they are devoid of vegetation and highly eroded in the Woreda. Sampling design approach was used through stratified random sampling for farmers’ questionnaire. Data was collected through field observation, interview, questionnaire and secondary data from recorded document. The data was organized through tabular and analyzed in frequency, percentage and figuratively. several factors contribute this study including poor socioeconomic conditions, cutting of tree for fire wood, charcoal production, home construction, furniture’s and infrastructure expansion such as road construction. The result of the study showed soil erosion as a result of those human negative impacts. The present study showed severe soil erosion due to these anthropogenic factors.
