Land-use history, not readily available
for most places, remains the weakest link in nearly all
studies of historic vegetation change, in Africa as well
as other places in the world. Notwithstanding,
communities hold a great wealth of knowledge on the
processes and events influencing change on the land
they occupy. The Lambwe Valley, southwestern Kenya,
has a multi-ethnic population of settlers from the early
1950s. These people have seen the transformation of
an initially forested area with diverse challenges to

Preliminary findings on the effects of land use in the Masinga Dam catchment, Kenya, on the storage capacity of the reservoir are presented. Remote sensing and GIS techniques, supplemented with ground reports, were used to determine areas most susceptible to erosion. A representative catchment was then chosen for rainy season monitoring of soil loss, river suspended sediments and discharge response to rainfall. In addition, Gerlach-type traps were used to evaluate erosion rates under different crop covers and slope gradients.

For millenia, Greater Amboseli ecosystem of Kenya has had a central role in subsistence
pastoralism and wildlife conservation by providing vast biological resources for pastoralists and
their livestock; and habitat for wildlife. Recently, with the creation of Amboseli National Park
and rapid changes in land tenure systems, the human use of the ecosystem has intensified. This
change has shaped a pastoral landscape composed of livestock grazing, wildlife conservation, -

This thesis examines water quality status and deterioration in the Upper-
Athi-Nairobi sub-catchments which covers an area of 1154.4 km2 with an annual
discharge rate of 99242 m3/year (9.9 X 104 m3/yr). It is based on field and
laboratory analysis of water quality parameters.
The subject matter includes the assessment of land use processes
responsible for water quality deterioration. These include Industrial and
Agricultural activities. The study demonstrates how useful industrial -

The intent of this study was to examine the impact of
changing land use patterns on the numbers and distribution
of livestock and wild herbivores in the Tana River District,
Kenya.
A multi-method approach of aerial surveys,
questionnaires, interviews and secondary data sources were
employed to realize the objectives.
Results indicate that changes in land use patterns and
types have created conflicts that led to the reduction of
the range and affected distribution of pastoral livestock
