Prosopis juliflora tree (locally known as ‘Mathenge’) is native to South America and has been introduced across the world over the last 200 years as useful and drought resistant species (Felker et al., 1981; Harris et al., 1996; Pasiecznik et ( ... )
01). They grow in very dry and harsh conditions where virtually no other trees can grow hence ensuring self-sufficiency in fodder for livestock and food for humans, charcoal, fuel wood and timber. In addition, they make the fragile arid and semi-arid environments more habitable, thus mitigating against the impacts of drought and famine, climate change as well as safeguarding the existing natural

The proposed project will be implemented in Jimbo village within Shimoni-Vanga seascape of Kenya’s South coast. The community here heavily depends on marine resources for livelihood with fishing related activities employing an estimated 90% of ( ... )
olds. Other activities that supplement fishery related livelihoods include agriculture and small-scale businesses. The heavy dependence on marine resources has led to overfishing that has also led to use of more efficient fishing gears. Some of the same gears are destructive e.g. the spearguns and beach seine. In turn, there has been massive degradation of marine ecosystems that manifests itself
