Removing Prosopis fosters peace in Ruko Conservancy

Ruko Conservancy in Baringo, Kenya, has removed all Prosopis juliflora from its area with support of the Woody Weeds project. The conservancy was established to foster peace between the Pokot and Ilchamus communities and to conserve the natural resources of the area. Recently P. juliflora has started invading the area, threatening biodiversity and access to land. Since the invasion was still in an early stage, the best option was to remove it from the entire conservancy area. In the video below, members of both communities explain the work and how removing P. juliflora from the conservancy will protect their future.
