Pastoralists in northern Kenya have earned a total of Sh1.7 billion from carbon credits in the last three years through the conservation of rangelands.
Modified grazing practices which include rotational grazing and pasture reseeding on degraded rangelands, livestock keepers in Laikipia, Isiolo, Marsabit and Samburu counties increase grass cover, enabling capturing of more atmospheric carbon to be stored in the soil.
