Divergent and Shared Understandings of Environmental Issues in Kenya
Environmental issues are also often political issues, and people have divergent views on the underlying problems and potential solutions. Without a common understanding of or agreement on these issues, collective environmental action cannot occur. In part due to its economically and politically diverse population, the Narok District in Kenya has experienced difficulties finding solutions for environmental issues. Within the District, the Mau Forest (MF) and the Massai Mara National Reserve (MMNR) provide both financial and ecological benefits to the community.
