Welcome to Rangelands Reseeding Solutions!
We're restoring drylands with indigenous grasses & trees, building climate resilience & livelihoods in ASAL communities.
Follow us for impact stories, innovation & progress from Kenya’s rangelands.
#RangelandRestoration#ClimateAction
Collected Balanites aegyptiaca seeds from Clair, a member of Sigma Youth Group in Baringo. We collected 182 kg for restoration across Kenya’s ASALs.
Restoration is about more than landscapes. It’s about creating livelihoods from nature. 🌱

Happy to be attending #CGIARScalingWeek2026! 🌍
We look forward to being challenged, learning from others, sharing experiences and creating meaningful connections as we explore how to scale solutions for resilient rangelands, restoration and community livelihoods.
Our seedbank & research facility in Isiolo is almost complete! This will be a hub for conserving, testing and scaling indigenous tree & rangeland pasture seeds, while supporting research and community-led restoration across Kenya’s drylands
#RangelandRestoration#SeedBank#Asals
We recently broke ground on our new Seedbank Facility in Isiolo, Kenya. This milestone brings us one step closer to safeguarding indigenous dryland seeds while creating a dedicated hub for researchers working to advance restoration and resilience across Kenya's drylands.
Today marks an important step in our journey. We have secured USD 100,000 in catalytic funding to scale restoration of Kenya's drylands while building sustainable livelihoods and resilient economies for pastoral communities.
The work continues.

We’re diving deep into unlocking finance for rangeland & pastoralist economies. Through the STELARR project, @ILRI is bridging the gap between traditional systems and global financial markets.
3 Investor-Ready Pillars:
🐂 Sustainable livestock systems
🌱 Nature-based businesses
🌡️ Climate-friendly value chains
Pastoralists aren’t just beneficiaries—they are the lead co-investors in our regenerative future. 🤝✨

We are thrilled to announce that Google’s Satellite Embedding dataset, powered by @GoogleDeepMind's AlphaEarth Foundations model, has been updated for 2025. This additional year of coverage now unlocks the ability to look back, compare, and detect change across the planet with unprecedented clarity. Learn more here ➡️ https://t.co/yCHMhXCnq6
Part of Google's Earth AI, the new data represents the state of the planet throughout 2025, distilling petabytes of multi-sensor data into a 64-dimensional embedding for every 10 meter pixel.
What’s new in this update? 🧵👇
- 🌍 2025 Data: The state of the planet throughout 2025 is now available on the Earth Engine Data Catalog and Google Cloud Storage.
- 🔬 Unprecedented Change Detection: Because these embeddings capture subtle spectral, spatial and temporal signatures, they make it easy to spot significant year-over-year changes without the heavy lifting of raw image processing.
- 💚 Long-term Commitment: We are formalizing our commitment to the ongoing production of these annual layers to support your operational workflows.
Since we first launched the Satellite Embedding dataset, we’ve been inspired by how our community is putting this data to work. Applications are ranging from ecosystem mapping and agricultural crop-typing to carbon stock prediction. We can’t wait to see what you do next.

The long rains are forecast to start around mid-March, peaking in April; excellent for rangeland restoration!We're preparing now: sourcing native seeds, clearing invasives, improving planting areas, and resting grazing areas.Join us to revive degraded lands!
The fair, organised by @SEIresearch was a culmination of year long efforts to understand and galvanize the bioeconomy sector in conjuction with @KEPSA_KENYA and @BusinessSweKEN to scale and grow within an enabling environment.
It was a pleasure hosting the Swiss ambassador to Kenya @SwedeninKE and the PS for trade and Industry @DrJumaMukhwana at the recently concluded Kenya Sweden Bioeconomy Business and innovation fair where we showcased our use of seedballs from biochar to plant trees and grasses.
This is a paper from Biochar journal, please read and help publicize it, thank you for your kind attention!

Google is purchasing 100,000 tonnes of carbon removal from @CharmIndustrial to deliver via biochar. Largest biochar purchase of all time!
Biochar is a co-product of bio-oil in our existing pyrolysis process, and roughly doubles our carbon removal yield per tonne of biomass.
Attention UK farmers interested in biochar. Attend this online event. See you there…
