ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS AND CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION
Green zones of Perkera Catchment Community Association is a registered
association within Eldama Ravine Division, Koibatek district, in Baringo County. The
association summarily deals with conservation of biodiversity (environment), food
security, research, Civic education, awareness creation on HIV & AIDS pandemic,
Environmental conservation and peace building among communities within the district,
and County at large.
Koibatek district is rich in biodiversity, both flora and fauna. With Lembus forest, that
surrounds the region, this forms a very important ecosystem, and notably, many rivers
emanates in there, and hence it forms a catchment of various rivers, which pours its
water in the Perkerra River, an important river to the lower part of the County, given
that, the lower region of the county is semi - arid.
Conservation of biodiversity and rehabilitation of Lembus forest is therefore very
important. Communities surrounding the forest need to be sensitized on sustainable
management of the ecosystem and proper management plans developed, adopted and
implemented accordingly.
Over the years and through our research, we have realized that there is a missing link
and information flow between the youth and the old which is vital in conservation of
biodiversity through incorporation of both indigenous knowledge and the modern
technological innovations, a key concept conservation.
Greenzones of Perkera Catchment Community Association has taken the initiative, to
mobilize the communities and address the vice accordingly.
The Association has planned for various activities like planting indigenous trees within
the ecosystem, Institutional trainings on conservation of environment, Planting trees in
schools/Institutions, On-farm tree planting, adopt a tree initiatives within major
townships, Environmental awareness creation through songs/Poems/Plays/Sports and
essay writing competitions, among others.
This year’s events were officially launched on 5th June 2013 during the ‘World
Environmental Day’, at Maji Mazuri RC Primary School and Kibasiso Secondary School,
where over 300 trees were planted. The activities will then continue throughout this rain
season.
