Conservation of biodiversity in North Kenya and development of pastoral communities

This local development and biodiversity conservation project aims to establish the conditions for sustainable development in an arid region. The project thus seeks to improve the management of the protected areas of the Marsabit forest, which will also be enhanced by tourism and by the establishment of community natural resource management zones on their periphery.The five-year project will be implemented as part of a coordinated territorial action involving Kenya Wildlife Service and Kenya Forest Service, local government, local NGOs, pastoralists and representatives of the city of Marsabit.
