Community perceptions concerning key ecological resources at risk in Baringo district,Kenya
key ecological resources in arid and semi‐arid lands are often characterized by small patches of seasonal grazing and important water points that lend critical support to entire production systems ( Scoones, 1991 ).When these are lost, production systems are badly compromised.The Baringo District of north‐central Kenya has endured decades of resource abuse due to breakdown of traditional system of resource management and conservation and increase in human population that put pressure on grazing and wood resources (Little, 1992).The overall project goals were to map and characterize key ecological resources at risk throughout the district, this phase of study was used to : (1) identify the vulnerable and lost key resources in the district ; (2) rank key resources in order of their degree of vulnerability ; (3) note major factors influencing vulnerability and loss of resources ; (4) suggest possible means of restoration.
