   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

   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.

    This article is concerned with the hypothesis that devolution, understood as entrusting local government
    with significant domains of autonomous discretionary power, will lead to the equitable and efficient management of
    natural resources. The paper focuses on the three domains of power conceived by some theorists as critical in the management
    of natural resources, namely making rules, implementing rules, and resolving disputes in relation to these rules.
