Kenya pastoral communities reject carbon deal, say land rights and grazing access at risk
Carbon offset projects in Kenya's pastoral lands are causing controversy and dividing communities. In Oldonyonyokie ranch, southern Kenya, herders are questioning a proposal by US-affiliated organisation Soils for the Future to store carbon on their 160,000-hectare property. Many fear the project could limit access to grazing areas and threaten their traditional way of life. With Kenya hosting about 400 carbon credit projects, mostly foreign-owned, concerns are growing about land rights, community consent, and the potential exploitation of vulnerable populations. While the Kenyan government views these initiatives as beneficial for climate change adaptation, activists argue that polluters and brokers are the primary beneficiaries at the expense of local communities.Al Jazeera's Catherine Soi reports from Kajiado, Kenya.
