The Nechisar National Park (also spelled Nech Sar, Amharic ነጭ ሣር nätsch sar "white grass " ) is one of nine national parks in Ethiopia.

It is located in the Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples Region, just east of the city of Arba Minch. Its area of 514 km ² includes the bridge of God, an isthmus between the Abaya and Chamo, and the Nechisar level east one of the two lakes.

Among the domestic species include Hartebeest, Burchell's Zebra, Grant 's gazelle, dik, and the Great Kudu. A portion of the Northwest shore of Chamo is known as Crocodile so-called market where hundreds of Crocodiles gather a space for sunbathing.

The Koorete - also called Kore or Amaro - who live east of the park in the Amaro mountains, do some farming in the park area, but have not settled there. Guji - Oromo live as a rancher with numerous cattle in the park.

The establishment of the national park was proposed in 1967, in 1974 the park was officially established. He was never recognized by law, but acts as a de facto National Park. In 1982, the Guji were forcibly evicted from the Nechisar National Park, as their presence was seen as a threat to the park. The anger over this expulsion resulted in them a continuing negative attitude towards the park. After the fall of the Derg government in 1991 Guji returned to the area. From the mid- 1990s, the authorities planned with support from the EU re resettlement of the Guji and Koorete from the national park to protect and use for tourism this. In 2004, the Dutch Africa Parks Foundation the management of Nechisar, the same year burned park rangers and the police hundreds of temporary houses of the Guji down. 2008 Africa Parks withdrew due to local difficulties and the controversies surrounding the resettlement of the Guji from the Nechisar National Park.
