Participatory identification of factors inhibiting integrated management of livestock and wildlife production on Kenyan rangelands
While the Kenyan ASAL (spell out this acronym) has numerous natural resources that support 65％ of wildlife and account for 80％ of the countrys ecotourism interests, some 65％ of the ASAL population live below the poverty line and benefit very little from these resources ( MoLFD, 2004 ).In addition, land degradation is escalating and per capita livestock production, the main source of livelihood is on the decline.Wildlife (fauna) and livestock are generally complementary vegetal resource users.As such, they can be raised alongside each other with potential for complementary income generation,.This potential notwithstanding, in Kenya wildlife populations have declined by 58％ since 1984 ( Mungai, 2004).The objective of this study was to establish constraints that inhibit deliberate integration of wildlife and livestock production with particular emphasis on implications of livestock losses from predation and wildlife related diseases.
