Pastoralists from four counties in northern Kenya have received Sh655 million from the carbon credit kitty.
The herders from the Counties of Isiolo, Marsabit, Samburu and Laikipia who are members of the community-based wildlife conservancies in partnership with the Northern Rangeland Trust (NRT) benefited from the kitty as shares earned under the carbon credit framework.
The money is channeled through the Northern Kenya Rangelands Carbon Project (NKRCP), which gives each conservancy its share.
