Traditionally, monitoring, reporting and verification systems adopted by countries have been a standalone system with single modules. However, Kenya has resolved to adopt an integrated MRV where all the modules are in one platform.  With fundings from UNDP, the Ministry of Environment through the Climate Change Directorate contracted a consulting firm to develop an Integrated Monitoring Reporting and Verification System (iMRV) to be used in the country’s climate actions.

Communities living in rangelands largely depend on these ecosystems for everything including but not limited to water, fuel, grazing grounds for their livestock, construction materials, farming, tourism among others. However, climatic conditions characterized by long droughts, and floods as well as high population increase and associated anthropogenic impacts have negatively impacted the integrity of these ecosystem. A case in point is the rangelands around the Chyulu Hills in Kenya.

The Vital Signs program of Conservation International, Africa Field Division, has developed a detailed map of the Eastern Afromontane biodiversity hotspot to support conservation and restoration efforts. 

Using geographic information system and remote sensing, the program has produced the map depicting areas of the most biologically rich yet threatened areas in the region. The map indicates that the bulk of the hotspot falls within forest land, shrublands, grasslands and portions of land under cultivation.
