Kamwana-pole if I suggested its only in Ukambani this is happening. You are right about Central although its mainly Laikipia (RV) and parts of Kieni that are in serious danger of desertification.

@ Niando,

The Athi river is no longer the Athi that it used to be. Ngong forest was dished out in the previous regime. People have now settled on top of the nNgong hills. The recent hullabaloo about river reserves is as a result of this state of affairs.

@Niando writes '...from Sultan Hamud down to Voi,the green bushes that used to be there this time of the year have disappeared.In Emali town,there used to be green bushes of cowpeas this time.Now its bare cultivated land.It's transforming to bear desolate land....'






After reading much about Mau forest,I took a ride around the Aberdares,Mt. Kenya and Ngong Hills in March 2009 as I normally do for holidays. Ngong is totally transformed into Nairobi suburbs,the Aberdares as you leave Lari,Kamburu,Gatamaiyu,.... gatakaini,... kigigoini,nyeri,muiga,Belle Vue,indarakwa,joro,kalau,ndiara,miharati,githioro ...,Enginia ... is all settled to the peak,mt. Kenya is slightly better,but,nonetheless very much threatened... my thoughts were,we simply cannot just make policy for Mau but for ALL national forests,Mountains,rivers,lakes ... in sum a comprehensive national resources policy and its urgent!

The residents who cut down the trees to burn them for charcoal in Baringo DESERVE to die of hunger. They deserve NO government handouts.

River Athi dried for the first time ever in march...things are getting serious,the bible talks of the river Nile drying up....soon there will be no permanent rivers in africa.
The utimate goal of investing is to buy low sell high;if we re-write this core equation in psychology terms it becomes buy fear sell greed.

Ndakaini dam...close to my shagz n even after the just ended long rains,the thing is almost empty!! Nairobians,shun the ignorance,arrogance,sin,chestthumping... coz things will b elephant soon! River chania...If any one of u has been to thika of late,u wont miss this glaring eyesore on the once magnificent chania falls...not a drop of water!!! The once mighty river is now a mere trickle,and the trickle is harvested by thika municipality. We should turn back to our Creator!!

The only reason why some people are still alive is coz its illegal to shoot them!!

Masinga dam power generation stattion has been shut down.Reason shortage of water. This should be a wake up call for all of us .It's time we have a policy of planting trees on 10% of everyones' land.

Agriculture supports/employs something like 60% of Kenyans. And we are not concerned? Power and water rationing could be our future. I am already spotting a career/business opportunity. Tree holticulture.

@SIMONKABZ hi

sorry 4 chania falls- which is no more,n on the other side thika river is also no more. here is the catch,this is july no rains expected,then aug,sept,oct mwisho when it starts 2 rain,am telling u all the dams in tana river may been closed. Arid areas coming soon.

just wondering why cant we censure our sleeping MPs to move a motion in Parliament to make all citizens to plant trees in their shambas n 2 uproot all eucalptas. remove all the squatters from the mau,mt kenya,aberdare forests tomorow n plant trees immediaterly- just a thought!
