@kimaniden It was followed by an explanation by @PabloPastos on wildlife declines and increase of shoats (sheep & goats), how this correlation does not equal causation, & how other factors such as poverty may be behind loss of ecosystem function. Upcoming related paper with @YamatLucas soon
For the ensuing talk @AloyceGLekuton and @emalanome were kind enough to make it to our camp and talk about the activities, achievements and innovations of @NRT_Kenya, the criticism raised against this umbrella organisation, and the responses and improvements consequently applied.
The Elders from .@NRT_Kenya 43 member conservancies in Kenya and Uganda met last week to discuss creating resilient community conservancies that improve lives, promote peace, and conserve natural resources. Here's their plan: https://t.co/CjjS7849VM

@NOTHERN_TIMES@NRT is proud to work with our member conservancies, including Cherab, to promote sustainable conservation and community development. We call on all parties involved to prioritize peaceful resolution of conflicts and to engage in constructive dialogue to find solutions.
@NOTHERN_TIMES System ya Facts, time to say as it is, @DefendersKE you should stop pitting isiolo community and our longest partners @NRT_Kenya on unfounded allegations, the incident at Korbesa was purely a local misunderatanding currently being addressed.
@NOTHERN_TIMES 35 women leaders from Leparua, Ltungai and Melako conservancies assessed the outcomes of NRT’s bespoke Leadership and Management Program (LAMP) training .
training was successful in reducing gender disparities, empowering local women
@NOTHERN_TIMES Korbesa incident should have been addressed lawfully and not take advantage of fighting our partners NRT... Defender coalition should stop taking advantage of underlying issues for their own interests
@NOTHERN_TIMES We demand @DefendersKE you stop inciting our communities who live at peace with this organisations and please take back your allegations against @nrtkenya
The real of an elephant is not its white front teeth called ivory. The real value of an elephant is the brown, fecal matter called dung that comes from its rear end. That's what ensures the regeneration of the forests ,essential for all life on earth. @4Apes@IccnRdc@ConservC

From an early age, Josephine Ekiru felt a sense responsibility to her Northern Kenyan community, to its biodiversity & to future generations. Through her incredible work, she’s fulfilling her desire to make a difference. #InternationalWomensDay@NRT_Kenya https://t.co/RTpWkHBmzb
As we celebrate #IWD2023, the impact that @NRT_Kenya is making for gender equality is a timely reminder for us all.
We all must come together to ensure digital access doesn’t prevent brilliant people from unlocking technology’s full potential.
