Local communities, biodiversity conservation and ecotourism: acase study of the Kimana Community Wildlife Sanctuary, Kenya
(2016)Protected areas in Kenya constitute 7% of the total land area with over 75% of wildlife in the country being found on private or communal land. Rural communities in Kenya, where protected areas generally exist, ... -
Modeling the Spatial Impact of Climate Change on Grevy’s Zebra (Equus grevyi) niche in Kenya
(Elixir International Journal, 2013)Although Grevy’s zebra (Equus grevyi) is listed as endangered species and is an important attraction in Kenya’s tourism industry, there have been no attempts to model the implications of climate change on their niche. This ... -
INFLUENCE OF RAINFALL INTENSITY ON FAECAL CONTAMINATION IN RIVER NYANGORES OF MARA BASIN, KENYA: AN ECO-HEALTH INTEGRITY PERSPECTIVE
(Global Science Publications, 2016)–River Nyangoresis one of the major perennial tributaries of the famous Mara River. Rise in anthropogenic activities coupled with environmental factors have posed an effect onits water quality. This study investigated the ... -
Changes in the densities of faecal and organic matter contaminants from upstream to downstream along Nyangores River of Mara catchment, Kenya
(Journal of Environmental Science and Water Resources, 2014)Changes in land use for development purposes in the upper catchment of the Mara River Basin have threatened the water quantity of its major tributaries. This study investigated the effect of human settlement and development ... -
