Promoting coexistence in changing landscapes
Shared lands
Responding to landscape change,
restoring relationships
Northern Kenya is undergoing rapid landscape change. Shared Lands aims to shine light on how peoples’ relationships with each other and different species, including livestock and wildlife, are changing as a result.
Shared Lands also supports grassroots organisations in northern Kenya that are promoting coexistence between humans and between humans and other species in response to landscape change.
Shared Lands is a participatory action research programme led by the Indigenous Movement for Peace Advancement and Conflict Transformation (IMPACT) and researchers from the University of Manchester, the University of Birmingham and United States International University Africa.
