The booklet on Community-Based Natural Resource Management: Creating an Enabling Policy Environment in Kenya was launched by the Cabinet Secretary for the Environment, Professor Judi Wakhungu, at a colorful ceremony at the Lale’enok Resource Centre in the South Rift on 11th October 2015 . The booklet (see Library) summarizes the findings of a meeting of Southern and Eastern African countries held in December 2013. The meeting drew on 30 years of African experience in Collaborative Natural Resource Management to highlight successful practices and chart the way forward for a Community Bases Natural Resource Management (CBNRM) policy for Kenya. Commissioned by the Ministry of the Environment, funded by NORAD through WWF and by the Liz Claiborne Art Ortenberg Foundation, the meeting was organized by ACC and ACP. The meeting of African practitioners and scholars concluded that CBNRM, based on traditional practices and community-based conservation in Africa, is fast becoming a worldwide practice.
The Lale’enok Community Resource Centre was chosen as the launch site of the booklet to highlight the steps communities have taken to conserve and manage their own resources (www.soralo.org). The meeting was attended by the Deputy Governor of Kajiado, Paul Ntiati, senior representatives of the Kenya Forest Service and Kenya Wildlife Service, political leaders, community leaders and a large gathering from the local community.
