WILDLIFE CONSERVATION

After the extensive research and interview sessions, the Northern Kenya people are the biggest losers in wildlife conservation. Many in the region don't understand the benefits accruing with these development. Nomad Green Belt Movement urged the Northern region residents to free their minds from selfish interest or stereotyped developmental issues.

I call them the masked enemies of progress, as we unveil our new strategy to conserve the Kenya's largest wild regions. Ignorance is the key enemy towards development, and of good governance. It must be  ridden of, the people at large should focus on achieving this national objective of wildlife conservation.

They must maintain a healthy mindset and develop a strong sense of reasoning especially now that the devolved development plan is  embraced.

As a lobby team, we advocate to revive the wildlife to ensure development, while lessening some potential impacts on wildlife, natural resources and the environment. The wildlife is threatened on so many fronts over climate change, water scarcity, soil erosion, deforestation, illegal wildlife trade and habitat destruction to make room for human development.

Incredible images will be telling amazing stories about the wonderful world we live in and the importance of protecting our biodiversity.

There is great power and influence in creating awareness across counties as we're fulfilling our mission in a year, filled with challenges and change.

Let's wish our friends at the Wildlife and Conservation Society the very best as they work through this difficult period in the harsh environment.

THE GARISSA COUNTY DEFORESTATION EFFECTS UNBEARABLE

Deforestation is clearing Earth's forests on a massive scale, often resulting in damage to the quality of the land.

The Nomad Green Belt Movement a fact finding team has found a worrying negative trend on the ongoing wanton destruction of Garissa County Trees.

Those who are destroying the forest without processing permit to destroy our indigenous trees, have caused huge impact on the environment. Its very stressful when you encounter the forest destroyers comfortably drive their donkey-Cat to the market with no regard for environmental laws.

The Northern Kenya forests could completely vanish in a twenty years at the current rate of deforestation. Its alarming, and must stop! Replace by planting more trees and avoid the cutting of trees.

The whole arrangement looks like raping the environment and destroying natural heritage. We need to understand that without trees, destroyed forest lands  quickly become barren deserts.

But also seen in the photos herein, destruction of indigenous trees are wrecking havoc on forest. If we have no tree replacement plans, our environmental future is at stake.
