These pieces have been well worn and therefore may have cracks or other damage that has sometimes been repaired and sometimes not. The repairs were made in the bush with whatever was handy, such as strips of aluminum, leather, wire or even colored plastic, adding more interest to the piece. In our "throwaway society" we might find it hard to understand why these people would take so much time and care repairing an object instead of creating a new one. There is a lesson there for all of us. We will not list all so called "defects" so if this matters to you, please ask about specific pieces before making a purchase.

Contents Previous Next 2.2 Species and varieties of wild animals eaten Virtually all species of wild animals are acceptable as a food resource to some group of people in Africa. Species which may be tabooed by one group of people are a delicacy to another group elsewhere. Species eaten vary from antelopes to monkeys, rodents. reptiles and a whole range of invertebrate species including snails, termites and beetles. Jardin (1970) lists hundreds of species belonging to 236 genera reported to be eaten by people in Africa. Bushmeat is eaten as fresh meat, smoked, salted or sun dried (biltong). Smoking is the most widespread form of preservation and smoked bushmeat is available in urban markets in most African countries. The range of species taken and relative importance of the different species have been documented for several areas of the continent and vary from locality to locality depending mainly on the species available for exploitation in each region and also on hunting restrictions enforced in each county. Rodents are particularly important in terms of range of species and numbers taken in many parts of Africa, possibly because they are not subject to hunting restrictions in many countries and also the fact that their high reproductive capacity makes them relatively more abundant. A comparison of the use of mammalian species in relation to species occurrence in different environments and the subsistence base of the people living in those environments showed that hunter-gatherer communities living in forest environments used a wider range of the species available to them, while pastoralist communities living in dry environments used only a limited number of species (Table 2.3).

MEMORANDUM THE CASE FOR THE RECOGNITION AND PROTECTION OF THE RIGHTS OF KENYA’S INDIGENOUS PEOPLES MEMORANDUM TO:CONSTITUTION OF KENYA REVIEW COMMISSION PRESENTED ON MONDAY 15TH JULY 2002, NAIROBI NOTE: This memorandum has been prepared and submitted to the Constitution of Kenya Review Commission by members of pastoralist and hunter-gatherer communities in Kenya. Pastoralists and hunter-gatherers (PHG) have identified themselves as indigenous peoples owing to their culture, relationship and spiritual attachment to their ancestral and traditional territories, in Kenya, and seek to have the new Kenyan Constitution recognize them as such. THE PROPOSALS AT A GLANCE 1. There shall be a constitutional Commission to address historical injustices. 2. This Constitution shall obligate the State to recognize the rights of indigenous peoples as stipulated by various international instruments and standards, specifically, ILO Convention 169, the United Nations Declaration on Persons belonging to Ethnic Minorities, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, amongst others, mentioned in this memorandum. 3. The question of locus standi requires a more liberal construction with regard to an individual’s prosecutorial powers on behalf of the community.

Kenya Country Information (Kenya National Anthem) Kenya's Name Kenya - a wonderful sounding word is named after a mountain of the same name. It was given by the Kikuyu people who lived around present day Mt. Kenya which they referred to as Kirinyaga or Kerenyaga, meaning ‘mountain of whiteness’ because of its snow capped peak (yes, Africa does have snow capped peaks). Mt Kirinyaga which was the main landmark became synonymous with the territory the British later claimed as their colony. However, the name Kenya arose out of the inability of the British and others to pronounce Kirinyaga correctly. When one hears the name "Kenya," there are images of the savannas, animals, safari trips, the Rift Valley, the Indian Ocean coastline and Lake Victoria but Kenya is over (2003 estimate) 30 million people of various ethnic groups (47) and backgrounds and without having met the people of Kenya, one has not seen the real, living Kenya. Early Visitors and Settlers The first people to settle in Kenya were indigenous African communities who migrated from various parts of the continent (Kenya is made up of various people groupings). Other visitors included traders, explorers, missionaries, slave-traders and travelers who came in from various parts of the world such as Portugal, Arabia, Roman empire, India, Greece and as far as China. They visited mainly the East African Coast from as early as the first century A.D. While the majority of the visitors went back to their countries, some settled, and intermarried with the local populations giving rise to a new Swahili culture along the Coast which has a strong Arabian flavor.

Home History Migrations A.K. Taylor Fund ... Map of Kenya KENYA is the country many people think of when they imagine Africa's vast sweeping plains covered with wildlife. It is a country of great wildlife diversity with a large variety of habitats from high snow capped mountains, to vast deserts, lush forests and spectacular beaches. Masai Mara escarpment and plains full of wildebeest and rare black rhino. It is this diversity of habitats and the geographical location of Kenya between several different evolutionary centers that makes Kenya such a wildlife gem. In addition, there are numerous opportunities for cultural experiences with some of the indigenous people. Many of these tribes such as the Maasai, Samburu, Boran, Rendille, Turkana, Gabbra and Swahili still retain much of their traditional customs. Traditional Samburu singing and dancing. A VARIETY OF WAYS TO SEE KENYA There are numerous ways to travel and see the different regions in Kenya. Perhaps one of the finest ways to see Kenya is traveling with a classic mobile-tented camp to a variety of parks and private ranches. Tented Camp There is also a selection of private homes (which we call bush homes), which offer a limited number of accommodations on private game ranches that are often adjacent to parks and reserves. The standards of accommodations and service in these homes are among the finest to be found in Africa. They are all creatively built with local materials and fit in wonderfully with the surrounding environment. Many of these places are owner run and managed and are situated on or near tribal lands allowing one to experience the local African people in their everyday lives.

COMMUNICATIONS - CONFERENCES past Medicinal plants and wild relatives of crops Nairobi (Kenya) 24-30 July 1995. Under the title 'Biodiversity conservation of medicinal plants and wild relatives of crops', a regional workshop was organized by UNESCO and UNEP in collaboration with the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS). The workshop was held in Nairobi, and later in Amboseli National Park. The participants heard papers on the conservation and use of medicinal plants and wild food crop relatives, and on trade in these plants.

Traditional conflict resolution and management Nairobi (Kenya) 31 October - 2 November 1995. The workshop was jointly organized by KENRIK and the United States Information Agency (USIA), which also sponsored the workshop. This event concluded phase one of the USIA-funded 'Training and exchange program for conflict management practitioners and educators from East and West Africa'. Earlier, the programme had brought nine peacemakers from East and West Africa (Ethiopia, Kenya, Ghana and Nigeria) to the United States for one month, in May 1995 (see also IKDM 3(3):27). The thrust of the programme is based on the philosophy that in the African societies of today, efforts to resolve conflicts peaceably can be considerably enhanced if they are based on indigenous, traditional actors and on processes that make use of skills and practices from the West only insofar as these are applicable in the African contexts.

Initially, there were high hopes for farming systems approaches. They appeared a revolutionary way to revitalize technology development and transfer, by giving farmers a voice in agricultural research. Yet results seemed disappointing. The authors assert that the fundamental problem is not one of farming systems research and development principles, but that implementing this approach is quite complex. The book explores how farming systems can be implemented successfully by improving management techniques. It stresses the importance of linkages among the many actors involved.

But one thing has remained constant: This country probably has a greater variety of high quality attractions than any other in Africa. But does it offer the right safari experience for you? advertisement Towards the end of the long overnight flight south from Europe the sun comes up over the horizon to illuminate the vastness of Africa below. I already have my nose glued to the window and as the plane creeps further south, I notice I am not the only passenger craning for a glimpse. By the time the jagged peaks of Mount Kenya sail past the excitement is palpable. We are nearly there. For the next hour or so the visitor is assailed by the contrasts which make Kenya one of the world's most interesting countries. As the plane sweeps south on its approach to Nairobi, one's eye flits from the parched, volcano-studded plains of the Rift Valley to the moist cloud-flecked slopes of the Aberdare massif and the lush Kikuyu highlands. Soon the plane is swinging east and, as it descends, the vast scale of the Rift Valley becomes apparent. Below is dusty savannah, then suddenly the seemingly vertical forested walls of the Ngong Hills loom underneath to announce one's arrival in Nairobi. A short hop over Nairobi National Park, still a major destination for migrating wildlife during the long dry seasons, and you are landing at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.

Its mission consists of three interrelated objectives: 1. To programme and execute research; 2. To offer training facilities for PhD candidates in the context of a well-structured framework; 3. To assist in research capacity building in developing countries. The mission of CERES focuses on resource problematics, in which many development problems either find their origin. Resources are not only natural but also human, including capital and knowledge; in fact, CERES' main thrust is the interaction between human and natural resources. Its core research question focuses on the processes and principles underlying perception, access, control and management of those resources in developing countries, and their implications for development. Its problem orientation indicates a multidisciplinary and comparative approach, using a variety of paradigms and a multilevel methodology, ranging from case studies to global surveys.

It explores the links between development education and environmental education. Rarely are global issues or issues involving the future of our lives on earth concerned solely with development or environment. A world in which we live according to the principles of ecologically sustainable development relies on an interdependent world to which we all have a responsibility to contribute. Ecologically sustainable development (ESD) is defined for the purpose of this workshop as 'Improving the quality of human life while living within the carrying capacity of supporting ecosystems' as outlined in Caring for the Earth published by IUCN, UNEP and WWF (1991).
