    Land is measured to be very crucial to Africa’s profitable means of development, as the largest part of the populations depend on it for their wellbeing. Land disagreements are inevitable, since this is expected to occur while the population pursues their interests on land. This study examines the responsibility undertaken by the African Union framework and Guidelines on Land Policy (AU F&G) in the resolution of land associated conflicts in Kenya.

    Fragmentation, degradation and loss of natural habitats are now recognised as major threats to wildlife conservation and mobile pastoralism in East African savannas. These processes are driven primarily by land tenure and policy, increasing human population, expansion of settlements and agricultural farms, road networks, urban development and fencing.

    Kenya has a wealth of wetland ecosystems that support diverse and unique habitats. These wetlands provide numerous ecological goods and services but are under tremendous stress due to rapid urbanization, industrialization and agricultural intensification; manifested by the shrinkage in their areal extent, and decline in the hydrological, economic and ecological functions they perform. Yala swamp, the largest fresh water wetland in Kenya measuring about 17,500 ha supports a large biodiversity and is a source of livelihoods to communities around it.

    Pastoral households are increasingly practising fodder production in response to forage scarcity associated with land degradation, climate variability and change. Understanding the grass seed value chain is a prerequisite for developing sustainable fodder production and guiding appropriate out-scaling in the drylands. This study investigated the producers’ perspectives on grass seed production, marketing and challenges faced along the grass seed value chain in Marigat Sub-County of Baringo County, Kenya.

    Globally, wetlands are under serious threat from the continuous reclamation due to demand to
    satisfy human development needs. Wetlands are the worlds’ most productive environment and
    rich in biological diversity of plants and animals. Wetlands provide many ecosystem services to
    humans and the environment ranging from fresh water, food, regulation of climate, coastal
    protection, regulation of floods, tourism and recreational activities, and water purification.
    Despite the mounting recognition of the need to protect wetlands, many continue to be

    The aim of the study was to assess the state of land cover dynamics in the Chyulu Hills watershed ecosystem of Makueni and
    Kajiado Counties in Kenya by considering the following objectives:- a) assessing the state of land cover in 2015, b) analysing
    and characterizing land cover transformations in the watershed in 1987, 2001 and 2015, and, c) comparing the forest cover
    dynamics with those of other studies in Kenya. The forest cover change analysis was undertaken through remote sensing and

    There is correlation on land degradation in reference to environment conflict against natural
    resources undocumented. Environmental conflicts mostly depend over human needs and issues
    such as distribution, allocation and natural resources management. History documents show how
    resource-based conflicts had contributed to highly destructive wars at Karamoja and Kagera
    regions of Uganda, Darfur in Sudan, in Rwanda genocide and even in the Niger Delta. Mau
    Forest Complex is Kenya’s important water tower. Important rivers that deplete in to Lake

    Participatory mapping is a power tool in resource management. Through this exercise communities are able to identify changes in natural resources and make decision on how best to manage the change. The study analyzed changes in natural resources in Kathakakai settlement scheme, Machakos County using participatory resource mapping, with the aim to discuss possible effects. The area, which used to be a ranching enterprise for nearly a hundred years, was sub divided in 1995 into individual farm holdings with average farm size of 2.5 hectares per household.

    Resource changes observed in rangeland ecosystems have triggered a myriad of ecological, social and economic dynamics, often with adverse implications on pastoral livelihoods. This study applied an integrated approach using local knowledge and spatial technologies to assess the long-term changes in pastoral resources and their implications to pastoral livelihoods in the Amboseli ecosystem in southern Kenya. Reduction in grazing land was perceived by the community to be the main change in pastoral resources that has occurred over the 40-year period.
