Samburu County has received Sh9.1 million in revenue, generated from the sale of carbon credits that will be used to mitigate the impacts of a prolonged drought ravaging the region.
The Northern Kenya Rangelands Carbon Project is one of the world’s largest soil carbon removal projects and helps the arid region build resilience to climate changes while also conserving wildlife habitats.
