🌿 A Powerful Day for Hirola Conservation in Bura East!
📅 20th November 2025 – Fafi, Garissa County

GSA spent the day with 40 dedicated participants, board members, rangers, local administration, and community representatives, exploring how natural resources are used, where Hirola live and graze, and how people and wildlife can coexist peacefully.

The Hirola, found only in Garissa Kenya and parts of Somalia, is often called “the world’s rarest antelope.” With fewer than 500 left in the wild, every community effort matters, and today, Bura East showed incredible commitment to protecting this iconic species.

From the first introductions, the atmosphere was lively and engaging. Participants shared stories, asked questions, and even drew community maps showing rivers, grazing areas, settlements, and Hirola zones. The discussions were honest and eye-opening, especially when imagining what Bura East could look like in 10 years with better conservation practices.

Our facilitators, Evans Ndemo Masese (GSA) and Mohamed Ibar, guided the group through visioning, resource mapping, and dialogue on threats like overgrazing, insecurity, and increasing bushmeat trade.

By the end of the meeting, participants committed to real action:
🌱 Establishing community-managed grazing zones
🌱 Reseeding and restoring degraded rangelands
🌱 Running anti-poaching awareness campaigns
🌱 Forming local wildlife monitoring groups
The unity, passion, and hope shared today showed just how much the community cares about its land — and its Hirola.
Together, we're building a future where people and wildlife thrive side by side.

Day 3 – Tenure Security Training, Tree Planting & Award Ceremony in Lafey Ward, Mandera County

The GSA team concluded the third output of the “Improving Tenure Security and Sustainable Development in ASAL Areas of Kenya” program in Lafey Ward, Mandera County, with a day filled with learning, action, and celebration.

The session began with opening remarks from Ms. Lynn Kandie, who highlighted the value of community-led peacebuilding in safeguarding both tenure security and sustainable livelihoods. She reminded participants that resource security is not only about ownership, but about cooperation, fairness, and harmony.

Mr. Evans Masese then facilitated training on the root causes of conflict in Mandera — including competition over grazing land and water, migration pressures, and inter-clan disputes. Through conflict mapping exercises, communities identified key hotspots and developed strategies for strengthening local peace mechanisms.

A memorable reflection came from a religious leader in Lafey Ward: “We cannot control the rains, but we can choose how we respond to scarcity.” His words underscored the day’s central theme — dialogue and respect as tools for resilience.

Before closing, participants joined hands in a tree planting exercise, symbolizing their collective commitment to both peace and environmental stewardship in Mandera’s ASAL landscape.

The day ended with a vibrant certificate award ceremony, recognizing the dedication and insights of all who took part.

✨ Lafey Ward leaves this training with stronger skills, deeper unity, and living symbols of hope in the trees planted together.

Mr. Evans Masese captured the essence of our mission when he said, “The future belongs to them, we are only custodians. It’s our duty to ensure they inherit a world where they can thrive, not just survive.”

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who journeyed with us. Together, we didn’t just plant trees, we planted purpose, partnership, and hope.

Closing with Growth 🌱 | Final Day in Kinna Ward, Isiolo County.

We wrapped up our final day in Kinna Ward with a meaningful tree planting activity at Algani Girls Primary School—an effort that symbolized not just environmental care, but the growth we have cultivated together throughout the week.

Alongside 15 dedicated local farmers, we planted a diverse range of fruit seedlings: mango, guava, avocado, lemon, tamarind, and custard apple. Each was carefully selected for its nutritional benefits, economic potential, and contribution to long-term environmental sustainability.

The farmers also received hands-on training in proper planting techniques, including the recommended soil-to-fertilizer mixing ratio of 1 part fertilizer to 3 parts soil—a crucial step for healthy root development and tree resilience.

More than a planting session, this was a planting of values—knowledge, unity, and shared responsibility. As these trees take root, so too does our collective hope for a greener, more food-secure, and empowered future for Kinna.
