Mt Kenya Sustainable Landscape Management Board
The Mount Kenya Sustainable Landscape Management Board (LMB) is tackling environmental challenges through Integrated Landscape Management (ILM) strategies. These include climate-smart agriculture, regenerative agriculture, and livelihood diversification, all aimed at combating land degradation, biodiversity loss, and socio-economic hardships in the region
These approaches are designed to foster a more sustainable future for the Mount Kenya landscape while improving the livelihoods of local communities. The LMB facilitates cooperation among various stakeholders to address these challenges by focusing on four key areas: landscape management, landscape finance, landscape resilience, and landscape restoration
Through collaboration with community groups and diverse stakeholders, the LMB promotes sustainable land use practices and conservation efforts that protect the environment while supporting economic development. By integrating these sustainable practices, the Mount Kenya landscape can thrive despite the growing pressures from climate change, deforestation, and unsustainable land use. The board's efforts not only aim to restore ecosystems and conserve biodiversity but also ensure that local communities benefit from improved livelihoods and resilience to environmental changes. .
