Dakito Atestata is a spiritual leader of the Shekacho, an ancient Ethiopian clan. He loves the so-called didos, sacred groves in Sheka Forest in the southwest of the country. No trees can be felled there, because the forest is sacred to the Shekacho. Some 10,000 people live here, from and with the forest.
