Biodiversity Surveys In Kenya
The Kajiado Rangelands Carbon Project (KRCP) is a soil carbon project in southern Kenya, specifically the greater Amboseli and Western Kajiado ecosystems. The project is working directly with local pastoral communities to develop rotational grazing plans and monitor livestock movements and vegetative response.
Biodiversity surveys have been conducted at 286 sampling sites across seven Maasai communities to set the baseline. Surveys were done in April – May 2023 and 2024, with further surveys planned to take place every 3-5 years

The Importance of Savannas and Biodiversity
Savannas are important for protecting biodiversity and storing carbon. Increased grassland and savanna conservation is critical to protecting many imperiled species. Carbon projects set a baseline, and measure change from there; BRI is working to develop a consistent way to monitor changes in biodiversity across different project areas
