Pastoralists such as the Samburu, the Turkana, and the Rendille communities in northern Kenya have suffered extreme harm to their livelihoods and survival as a result of climate change. Due to climate change increasing temperatures and decreasing rainfall in Kenya’s northern drylands, over 2.5 million livestock have perished from starvation and dehydration. In addition, the remaining 10 million head of livestock are in danger of following a similar fate. With pastoralism contributing to 90 percent of youth employment and 95 percent of family incomes in northern Kenya, the loss of livestock is a huge blow to pastoralist’s ability to feed themselves and provide for their families. The bitter irony from this situation is that these victims contribute very little to the causes of global warming, yet suffer the greatest consequences. Therefore, the government of Kenya is asking wealthy countries to financially compensate Kenyan pastoralists and to also preserve rangelands. It is also using money from the World Bank to reimburse pastoralists who buy subsidized insurance policies for their cattle. The Kenyan government and nonprofits are helping pastoralists by pushing tree planting to reduce deforestation and provide food. Community activists have worked with pastoralists to diversify their livelihoods, to harvest and store water, and to adopt agricultural practices for the changing climate.
