Rangelands Management
Our work in rangelands management focuses on restoring degraded landscapes, preserving biodiversity, and supporting pastoralist communities across our conservancy.
Sustainable Rangeland Restoration
Healthy rangelands are the foundation of both wildlife habitats and pastoralist livelihoods. At Naibunga Central, we recognize that the well-being of our communities and the conservation of our ecosystems are deeply interconnected.
Our rangeland management programme takes a community-driven approach, working with herders and local leaders to develop sustainable grazing plans that balance livestock needs with ecosystem recovery. Through planned grazing, gully healing, and invasive species management, we are restoring the health of our landscapes for current and future generations.
Key Rangeland Programmes
We implement targeted initiatives designed to restore degraded pastureland, combat soil erosion, and build resilience.
Planned Grazing Management
We implement planned rotational grazing systems that allow degraded areas to rest and recover while ensuring livestock have access to adequate, nutritious forage throughout both dry and wet seasons.
Community-Led Gully Healing
Through community-driven gully healing initiatives, we construct stone check dams and brush structures that combat soil erosion, trap nutrient-rich silt, and restore water-retaining landscapes.
Invasive Species Control
We mobilize local work groups to clear invasive plant species such as Acacia reficiens that choke native vegetation, opening up fertile ground for native grasses to return.
Grass Reseeding Programmes
Severely degraded soil patches are reseeded with native perennial grass species harvested locally, improving ground cover, stabilizing topsoil, and providing long-term forage for pastoralist herds.
