Human-wildlife conflict (HWC) arises when wildlife shares the same physical space with humans. HWC, particularly livestock predation results in great negative impacts both to pastoralist and carnivores. Various approaches including compensation, guarding, translocation of problematic predator, predator-proof bomas (PPB) have been used mitigate such conflicts. We assessed PPB mitigating human-predator Loitokitok sub-county by focusing on its effectiveness, most community's perceptions,...
Human –wildlife conflicts (HWC) affect the social-economic aspects of millions people across world and is one most important challenges facing wildlife conservation. Long-term data collection provides an opportunity to critically understand HWC trends enable stakeholders create evidence-based solutions for co-existence wildlife. We used Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) 2010-2018 period analyse in typology, seasonality economic costs Kajiado Laikipia Counties Kenya. A total 953 reported cases two...
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...
Since the 1972 Conference on Human Environment in Sweden, issue of gender has been discussed internationally different fora. The discussions are realisation role resources access, control and shaping ecological processes. Although, connection between environment is not obvious direct, examining basis of: roles responsibilities; access control; knowledge; decision making brings out connections. This papers looks at from these prisms to discern both positive negative effect environmental...
It is estimated that more than 2.5 billion people worldwide use biomass for cooking. Burning one of the major contributors to carbon dioxide (CO2) emission—a principle gas in global warming and climate change. One way cutting down CO2 emissions adaptation efficient clean energy technologies. This study examined efficiency saving stoves Amboseli ecosystem by comparing cooking time, use, wood fuel traditional three stone open fire set ups. The result indicates a statistical difference time...
In the last few decades, impacts of human activities on ecosystem have rapidly increased resulting to detrimental changes. Human-wildlife conflict (HWC) is one greatest consequences environment. Although HWC has been there for its intensity seems be growing with spread settlements, changes in land use patterns and diminishing suitable natural habitats wildlife. To mitigate HWC, various strategies devised implemented. This study focused predator-proof bomas (PPBs) approach that ongoing...
Abstract As natural habitats continue to shrink in Kenya's Amboseli Ecosystem, livestock depredation by lions Panthera leo threatens both the livelihoods of pastoralist communities and lion populations affected retaliatory killings. Finding ways for people carnivores coexist at landscape scale is crucial long-term persistence many threatened animal populations. The fortification existing traditional bomas make them predator-proof reduces night-time livestock. However, sustainability...
