Pendekezo la kuboresha barabara ya Ihithe - Aberdare - Kahuruko - Ndunyu Njeru, maarufu kama barabara ya Mau Mau ambayo inapita katikati ya msitu  wa Aberdare inaendelea kuibua hisia tofauti kati ya wahifadhi wa mazingira na wale wanaounga mkono mradi huo.

Wanamazingira wamesema barabara hiyo itakuwa na madhara mengi kwa mazingira kuliko faida kwani kutakuwa na uharibifu mkubwa wa msitu ikizingatiwa kuwa msitu huo ni  mojawapo ya minara mikuu ya maji nchini  huku wanasiasa wakisema kuwa barabara hiyo itafungua soko la bidhaa za kilimo kati ya kaunti za Nyeri, Murang'a na Nyandarua..

MAU MAU FOREST ROAD

Misitu ya Dakatcha huko Magarini, kaunti ya Kilifi ambayo ina upana wa zaidi ya kilomita  2,000 mraba, ni mwenyeji kwa aina mbalimbali ya ndege na wanyama pori adimu na walio katika hatari ya kutoweka.

Ingawa msitu huu unasalia kuwa eneo muhimu la uhifadhi wa ndege na wanyama hawa walio hatarini kutoweka, wahifadhi wa mazingira wanasema masuala ya ardhi ambayo hayajatatuliwa ndani ya Dakatcha yanatishia juhudi za uhifadhi.

PETITION TO HAVE HIGH COURTS IN ALL 47 COUNTIES

Minority tribe-the Ogiek now want to be included in the government's plan to lift caveats on parcels of land at the foot of the Mau Forest Complex.

The community which is recognized as the custodians of the forest which is their ancestral land says their exclusion is likely to have detrimental effects on conservation gains already made.

Speaking in Nakuru, the Ogiek council of elders led by their secretary Joseph Lesingo has expressed its reservations on the decision which they say they have not been involved.

MENTAL HEALTH TRAINING FOR JOURNALISTS

Miaka mitatu iliyopita sekta ya Utalii katika Kaunti ya Baringo na Bonde la Ufa kwa jumla ilikuwa imeadhirika zaidi kutokana na janga la Korona na ongezeko la maji katika maziwa yaliyoko katika ukanda huo. Kaunti ya Baringo ambayo upata umaarufu wake kutokana na  ndege haina ya flamingo na chemichemi za maji moto ni mojawapo ya kaunti zilizoadhirika zaidi. Mamilioni ya ndege hao wamerejea katika Ziwa Bogoria na kuimarisha Utalii na biashara katika eneo hilo.Mamia  ya watalii wakiendelea kuwasili

FLAMINGO ZIWA BOGORIA

Huku Kongamano la Bara Afrika la Hali ya Anga likitamatika jijini Nairobi, Shule ya Upili ya Wasichana ya Lake Bogoria, iliyoko kando ya Ziwa Bogoria katika Kaunti ya Baringo, inaonekana kuwa mfano wa juhudi za dhati za kuhifadhi mazingira ili kuepuka madhara ya mabadiliko ya hali ya anga. 


Wanafunzi wa shule hii wamejionea kwa macho yao madhara makubwa ya mabadiliko ya Hali ya Anga, hususan wakati maji chumvi ya Ziwa Bogoria yalipozidi kujaa, kusababisha mafuriko yaliyoharibu sehemu ya uwanja wa shule na kusababisha uharibifu wa miundombinu kama barabara na athari nyinginezo kwa wakazi wa eneo hilo.


Kama anavyoarifu mwanahabari wetu Joseph Kipsang, wanafunzi hawa tayari wamepokea tuzo ya Kimataifa kutokana na upanzi wao wa miti 200 dhidi ya lengo lao la miti elfu mbili.

Shule ya Upili ya Wasichana ya Lake Bogoria Yatamba Katika Kupigania Mabadiliko ya Tabianchi

Huku Afrika ikikongamana jijini Nairobi kwenye Kongamano la Hali ya Hewa, wakazi wanaoishi kwenye maeneo yanayopakana na mito na maziwa wanakumbana na changamoto ya kufurika kwa vyanzo hivi vya maji.

Hali hii inawasababishia wakazi masaibu si haba, baadhi wakilazimika kuhama kutoka nyumbani kwao kutokana na maji mengi.

Kule Baringo kundi moja la waathiriwa sasa limeishtaki serikali mahakamani, likitaka fidia kutokana na serikali kukosa kujiandaa ipasavyo kwa mabadiliko ya hali ya hewa.

NDOTO ZILIZOVUNJIKA ZA WAATHIRIWA WA MABADILIKO YA TABIANCHI KATIKA KUTAFUTA HAKI NA FIDIA

Wakati dunia inapambana na matatizo ya mabadiliko ya hali ya anga na kuongezeka kwa ukosefu wa usalama wa chakula kutokana na ongezeko la joto duniani, mvua zisizotabirika, ukame na mafuriko, kundi moja la wanawake kutoka Jamii ya Endorois katika kijiji cha Kabasis, kilichoko kando ya Ziwa Bogoria, limeanzisha mikakati kabambe kuimarisha hali hii.

Kikundi hiki kinatumia ustahimilivu wa mbegu asili za mimea inayostahimili hali ngumu ya anga kupitia mbinu za kilimo-hai.

Joseph Kipsang anatuletea simulizi hii ya kuvutia na ya kutia moyo ya kina mama hao wastahimilivu wa jamii ya Endorois.

Government urged to step up long term measures in peace building in North Rift

Many farmers in Kenya are facing challenges due to unpredictable weather patterns, evolving pests, and emerging diseases, resulting in poor crop yields. To address these issues, food security experts advocate for the adoption of indigenous crops, which they believe will bolster food security and improve nutrition.

A recent study by Care International highlights Kenya's rich agrobiodiversity, which includes over 200 African indigenous vegetable species. However, these crops have been overlooked in favor of three exotic vegetables: cabbage, kale (known locally as sukuma wiki), and Swiss chard (spinach). This neglect poses a threat to Kenyan communities, jeopardizing their access to healthy traditional foods and the associated cultural heritage, encompassing language, knowledge, skills, and practices. This trend could lead to reduced dietary diversity, increased reliance on market foods, detrimental effects on health, and limited economic opportunities for traditional food producers and marketers, primarily women. 

Recognizing the economic potential of these indigenous crops, Care International and the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN), in collaboration with community-based organizations and women's groups, are promoting the cultivation of indigenous vegetables as an alternative source of income and nutritious food for rural households in Nakuru.
