Recommonisation secures pastoralist production, livelihoods and ecosystem integrity in Olgos, Kenya

A project initiated by the Pastoralist Development Network of Kenya investigated and documented the community initiative in the Olgos area of Narok county to reverse the perilous effects of the fragmentation of Maasai rangelands and fencing off of individual parcels. It was essentially a reflection on the functional experiential learning of the Olgos community and their action about 20 years ago that helped to secure their livelihood and production systems, restore ecological health and biodiversity, and reduce conflicts in the area. The objective was to understand the impacts that externally driven policy actions had on pastoral land ownership and management practises; the relationship between people, livestock, ecosystems and biodiversity; and the interactions between pastoralism, wildlife and environment. The project lasted from November 2017 to January 2018. This case study is the result of that project.
