Soil data works when it can move across systems, borders, and into action.

In this video, Tor Vagen explains why practical systems and better data sharing are essential for making soil information useful for countries, communities, and decision-makers.

Happy #BiodiversityDay from an organisation that this year's theme, "acting locally for global impact," describes who we are. At KUE, we map biodiversity to monitor changes, restore degraded biodiversity and promote regeneration in the communities #IDB2026 #ForNature

On this International Day for #BiologicalDiversity, here is what "acting locally for global impact" looks like from Kijiji Ukulima Eco, Kenya

Every time Nairobi floods, the blame goes to “blocked drains.”

But look at the hydrology map.

Entire estates sit on natural drainage paths and floodplains.

The uncomfortable truth:
Some parts of Nairobi were never meant to be built on.

Our inability to recognize patterns, question systems and act itatumaliza as Kenyans

[Eric Kigada @EricKigada]

This would be a good time to map out Nairobi flood zones and work on a solution to this perennial problem.

Two more days of heavy rain to go!

Well, when a child is conceived, the DNA split is 50/50 from both parents. Except for one small detail: mitochondrial DNA. It’s passed down only through the mother and never through sperm.
Which means something interesting: all living humans can trace their mitochondrial line back to one woman, not one man.
And every daughter born continues passing that same line forward.
Happy Women’s Day 💐

As Kenya prepares to enter the March-April-May (MAM) 2026 long rains season, the latest MAM 2026 outlook from the @MeteoKenya Department highlights a season of contrasts across Kenya.

While several regions are expected to receive near- to above-average rainfall, with potential for intense downpours and localized flooding, many ASAL (Arid and Semi-Arid Lands) areas may continue to face below-average rainfall, delayed onset, and persistent dry spells, compounding existing drought pressures

This is a timely reminder that climate information must guide how we plan, from agriculture and water management to infrastructure readiness and business continuity. Let’s translate forecasts into action, strengthen preparedness, and build resilience at every level.

Farming smarter, not harder, especially during droughts! Conservation agriculture practices are key – they can reduce crop water requirements by up to 30%.

This builds resilience & protects precious water resources. Vital for #LandRestoration.

Soil organic carbon sequestration is one of the most cost-effective options for:

#ClimateChange adaptation & mitigation
combating desertification
fighting land degradation
& achieving #FoodSecurity.

Protecting our #soils means protecting our planet!

It’s crazy how humans were literally gifted a planet filled with nature, fruit, water, natural medicine, and sunshine. And yet somehow we said let’s invent bills, debt, political parties, conflict and war 😭😭😭
