Contested from the early period of Menelik territorial expansion into the hinterlands of Addis Ababa, areas in the vicinity of Suba Park continue to be a bone of political contention in the context of the struggle of Oromo people against the expansion of the central state. A flashpoint is the Oromo protests (2014–2018) against federal state territorial expansion into the Oromo ethnic territory through a new Addis Ababa Master Plan that led to the deposition of Haile Mariam Desalegn and the installation of Abiy Amhed. I investigate how the state environmental policy maintained for extraction and conservation in the Suba forest between the late 1890s and 2018 affected the Tulama modes of land use related to their worldviews and their use of material, social, spiritual and symbolic values of land in the struggle for land and resource rights. I used ethnographic methods that included in-depth and semi-structured interviews, participant observations and document analysis to investigate long-standing and complex land-based conflicts in and around Suba Park. I show how simplifying state narratives of environmental policy entrenched in centralized state administration and exclusionist resource management schemes have reinforced a wider concern about indigenous land and resource rights and decentralized environmental governance.

从孟尼利克领土扩张到亚的斯亚贝巴腹地的早期阶段起，苏巴公园附近地区就一直是奥罗莫人反对中央国家扩张斗争的政治争论焦点。一个热点是奥罗莫人的抗议活动（2014-2018年），抗议联邦州通过新的亚的斯亚贝巴总体规划向奥罗莫族领土扩张，导致海尔·马里亚姆·德萨莱尼被废黜，阿比·阿姆赫德上台。我调查了 1890 年代末至 2018 年间针对苏巴森林采伐和保护的国家环境政策如何影响图拉马人的土地利用模式，涉及他们的世界观以及他们在斗争中对土地的物质、社会、精神和象征价值的使用争取土地和资源权益。我使用人种学方法，包括深入和半结构化访谈、参与观察和文件分析来调查苏坝公园及其周边地区长期存在的、复杂的土地冲突。我展示了简化国家对集权国家行政管理和排他性资源管理计划中根深蒂固的环境政策的叙述如何加强了对土著土地和资源权利以及分散的环境治理的更广泛的关注。
