Overgrazing, climate variability, and unequal access to grazing land have left large areas of Northern Kenya's rangelands severely degraded. Soil erosion, loss of vegetation cover, invasive species, and fragmented landscapes threaten wildlife survival, reduce grazing opportunities for pastoralists, and weaken the resilience of entire ecosystems.  

This project tackles these challenges directly, using a combination of reseeding, semi-circular bunds, gully healing, and invasive species control, all tailored to community grazing priorities and landscape-wide needs. Crucially, it blends traditional pastoral knowledge with modern land restoration science, demonstrating how community-driven approaches can secure a more productive and sustainable future for these drylands.  Progress is tracked through monitoring of vegetation cover, soil health, and wildlife presence, building an evidence base for ecological recovery. The project also builds local capacity for collective grazing management, ensuring equitable land use and the long-term productivity of restored areas.
