The rangelands of Sabuli Conservancy once faced severe degradation—bare soils, invasive plants, and disappearing grasses. Overgrazing and drought had turned fertile land into dust. But today, a quiet transformation is underway, led by the very people who depend on this land for survival.
Through rangeland restoration programs, Sabuli works with local herders, youth, and women to reseed grasslands, control erosion, and rehabilitate water catchments. Each initiative not only restores the environment but also creates cash-for-work opportunities that inject income into households.
The results are visible. Native grasses are returning. Soil fertility is improving. And herders are beginning to see greener pastures that can once again sustain livestock and wildlife. This revival of the land has reduced pressure on resources, curbed human-wildlife conflict, and rekindled a sense of hope among local families.
Beyond physical restoration, Sabuli promotes halal-aligned eco-enterprises such as beekeeping, handicrafts, and sustainable tourism, ensuring that conservation benefits align with faith and culture.
Rangeland restoration in Sabuli is more than an environmental project—it’s a movement of renewal, dignity, and unity. By healing the land, the community is healing itself. This is how conservation changes lives in Wajir County—one seed, one family, and one rangeland at a time.
