For a pastoralist in Turkana, losing grazing land is more than an environmental problem. It threatens livestock, household income and the ability to sustain a way of life.
Across the county, Prosopis juliflora, commonly known as Mathenge, has spread into grazing areas, water resources and livestock corridors, adding pressure to already fragile rangelands.
“Mathenge affects 22 counties, with approximately two million hectares currently under the invasive plant” Patrick Mwenja, Assistant Director
