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

In the semi-desert zone of North Horr, northern Kenya, soil salinity reaches toxic levels, with extensive salt crusts at the surface. Environmental groups are involved in tree and shrub planting trials with the objective of stabilizing sand dunes and rehabilitating land. However, the performance of the various indigenous and exotic tree and shrub species in rehabilitating these saline soils has not been examined. Therefore this study aimed at evaluating the performance of various exotic and indigenous tree and shrub species in rehabilitating saline soils in North Horr.

The study was conducted in the Blue-Nile valley of Wogidi district in Ethiopia, where
woody vegetation degradation associated with intensive land use activities has become a national
concern. It was undertaken with an overall objective of documenting the impacts of land use and
topography on the spatial distribution of two gum and incense producing tree species, Boswellia
papyrifera (Del.) Hochst and Commiphora africana (A. Rich.) Engl.. Five land use units, each with two -

Conflict results from a combination of factors, which are intertwined and often deeply rooted in cultural traditions both within and between nations. Poverty is one of the underlying causes of conflict and also one of its consequences. The pastoralists in Isiolo struggle to survive on a fragile ecosystem, which is ravaged by drought, poverty, insecurity and seemingly endless conflict over resources.
