Abstract Citizen science is gaining increasing prominence as a tool for and engagement. However, despite being potentially valuable sustainable development, citizen has little visibility in many developing countries. We undertook collaborative prioritisation process with experts conservation the environment to assess potential of environmental East Africa, including its opportunities, benefits barriers. This provided principles that are applicable across countries, particularly large‐scale...
Abstract The loss of natural habitats through destructive anthropogenic activities has been identified as one the major drivers environmental degradation. This is even more prevalent in developing countries where poverty and ignorance value biodiversity rampant. A pilot study was conducted two highland wetlands central Kenya to compile baseline data use field survey, questionnaire subsequent seminars. showed that offer ecological, social economic benefits are not fully appreciated hence...
The development of geothermal energy installations generates varied conflicts in Kenya that often escalate because improper management. Yet, these developmental project conflict dynamics remain poorly understood. To better understand the conflicts, quantitative and qualitative data were collected from Olkaria IV project-affected persons (PAPs) household heads using questionnaires, focus group discussions key informant interviews. was arranged into socioeconomic, cultural, environmental...
Introduction The continuous flow of ecosystem services (ESs) within coastal and marine ecosystems supports communities' well-being security by harnessing required resources such as seafood that address food security. overexploitation these places communities at risk losing ES. This study assesses how preference for the ES from types (i.e., mangrove forests, lagoons, seagrass beds, coral reefs, deep sea) vary gender in Diani Chale Kisite-Mpunguti Marine Protected Areas Kwale County, Kenya....

Traditionally, the cost of Human-wildlife conflict (HWC) has largely focused on visible costs, ignoring hidden costs (HC). The HC HWC are losses that uncompensated, temporarily delayed, or psychosocial in nature. HC, such as opportunity (OC) scantly documented to inform policy changes for addressing HWC. This study demonstrates importance considering using Amboseli Ecosystem (AE) and Mt. Kenya (MKE) Kenya. objectives this were to: a). quantify economic magnitude OC its impacts human...
