Rangeland health data use workshop [Kimana, Kajiado, Kenya 24-25 March 2025]
Restoring rangelands is essential for improving community resilience and agricultural productivity, particularly in the face of climate change. Rangelands support biodiversity, livestock, and livelihoods, while also having significant carbon sequestration potential. When degraded by overgrazing, deforestation, or poor land management, their ability to provide critical ecosystem services is reduced. However, targeted restoration efforts, such as replanting native vegetation and implementing sustainable grazing practices, can enhance carbon sequestration. These restoration efforts improve soil fertility, water retention, and biodiversity, helping agricultural systems cope with climate challenges like droughts and floods. They also boost livestock productivity, stabilize food sources, and create economic opportunities. By promoting a balance between agriculture and environmental health, restoration ensures long-term sustainability and climate resilience.
