Restoring 1.5 billion hectares of degraded land by 2030 is critical, especially for rangelands and grasslands threatened by degradation and misguided afforestation. This panel will explore Kenya’s restoration successes using nature-based solutions like rotational grazing, focusing on challenges in securing public and private financing, the need for robust monitoring through soil science, and community empowerment via devolved finance. Experts will address institutional needs for managing livestock, biodiversity, and sustainable land practices.
