01. Restoring Degraded Rangelands in Laikipia North
Through the REACH Program (Restore, Enhance and Champion for the Healing of Rangelands), LANCCI, with support from Global Greengrants Fund, is restoring degraded pastoral landscapes across Kurum, Tool, and Loishimi villages in Laikipia North. The initiative focuses on restoring over 15 hectares of degraded land through community-led restoration approaches that improve pasture regeneration, conserve water, and reduce soil erosion. As part of the restoration process, communities constructed over 800 semi-circular bunds and reseeded indigenous grass species including Maasai Love Grass and African Foxtail. These restoration techniques help retain water, improve soil health, and regenerate grazing areas for livestock.
