    Maasai communities in Kenya adapting to climate change by adopting smart-agriculture practices 2019

    In the Rift Valley, the Maasai groups of Naishorua, Silale, Menjele, Innkarukok olmane and Olroup live in the heart of Kenya’s Maasai Land: the Kajiado County, with its dryland conditions and semi-arid climate. Today, Maasai men leave their families for longer times and travel further in search of pasture and water resources for their livestock, thus contributing to the increased transboundary movement of various animal herds in the region. Using their observation and understanding of the changing weather patterns, these pastoral communities have been seeking to adapt to the ever-changing climate in an attempt to protect their livelihoods and lifestyle. Among these local nomadic populations, two key figures, Ryan and Paul, from the village of Enkorika, Kajiado County, have been instrumental in helping their communities cope with the negative effects of drought and water shortage.
