pastoral

The landscapes of Wajir West Sub county support the larger pastoral communities which depend on livestock for their livelihoods. The Rangelands in this region are compromised by recurring floods, sand dunes with subsequent droughts which has resulted in vegetation biodiversity loss, stressed soil health, rampant hard pans as well as emergency of invasive species. Poor grazing management systems is a contributing factor to reduced functionality of Wajir rangelands.

Ms. Carolyne Kyalo trained pastoral and agro-pastoral communities of Garissa and Kitui Counties on Participatory Range Management (PRM). The aim of this exercise to help these communities in identifying potential plant and grass species for the restoration degraded lands in which their livestock’s depends on.
