The aberration and destruction of the hitherto aesthetic environment threatens human existence on earth. This study sought to seek for ways of involving indigenous people‘s religious knowledge to solve the current problem of unwise utilization of natural environmental resources. Specifically, the main objective of this study was to explore the Sengwer religious worldview on the conservation natural environmental resources of Embobut forest. The specific objectives include: to determine the Sengwer religious worldview on natural environment resources in Embobut forest, to explore the influence of the Sengwer religious worldview on the conservation of natural resources in Embobut forest and to find out the challenges faced by Sengwer community in conserving natural environmental resources in Embobut forest. The study employed human relation theory and the social functional theory. It utilized qualitative methods since it sought to explore the attitudes and beliefs of Sengwer towards environment. The target populations for the study were Sengwer who reside within the Cherangany water catchment area and living within Embobut Forest. Thirty Participants who were knowledgeable about the Sengwer culture and who were living within the forest were purposefully sampled. Snowball sampling was also used to get research participants. Field data was collected through observation, interviews and focus group discussions. Data collected was analyzed through qualitative method and presented in a thematic form. Findings from the research show that the indigenous beliefs and practices of the Sengwer have an active role to play in the conservation of the natural resources in Embobut forest by controlling the utilization of resources and through creating awareness on the existence of certain natural environmental resources. It was established that, the Sengwer ensured sustainable utilization of natural resources through taboos, totems and beliefs systems attached to various flora, fauna and avifauna. The control and utilization of natural resource was done by creating awareness among members of the community and transmitted the very important environmental knowledge to young generation through oral literature therefore developing a positive environmental attitude to the young ones. The austere punishment by the Supreme Being through Illat and the council of elders acted as a deterrent and caveat to those who would be destroyers of the natural environmental resources. It was found out that the Sengwer have faced a variety of challenges in their attempt to conserve the forest. They include: Colonial and post-colonial government oppression, modern religions, population growth and development initiatives. Despite the challenges, they have come up with various initiatives in order to cope up with these challenges. The study recommends for a holistic approach towards promoting natural environmental resource conservation. The study shows that the Sengwer traditional religious knowledge on environment promoted a healthy and harmony relationship between human beings and the environment. Therefore, indigenous beliefs and practices of the local people have a crucial role to play in mitigating the current environmental crisis facing the world. Hence, there is need for a synergy of both African religion and modern ways to deal with the environmental crisis. vi LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS AND ACRONYMS ASL: Above sea level FGDs: Focused Group Discussions.

  • The Case of the Cherangany Hills, Kenya – State
    Governance regarding land and water distribution in Africa The case of the Cherangany Hills, Kenya - State forest protection is forcing people from their lands Justin Kenrick, Forest Peoples Programme, November 2014 1. Background This study focuses on State conservation initiatives in the Cherangany Hills, Kenya. This concerns a World Bank funded project: the Natural Resource Management Project (NRMP) in Kenya’s Cherangany Hills. Support for this project, in which the World Bank was joined by various other donor agencies, including the Finnish government, is in aid of the Kenyan Forest Service to protect the Cherangany Hills in order to secure their key water catchments functions. The foreign funded interventions by the KFS led to massive evictions of the region’s traditional occupants, the Sengwer people, plus others who had moved into the area more recently. These developments led to international controversy and, following complaints, the World Bank’s Independent Inspection Panel investigated the case. The Panel issued a report which highlighted serious violations of the Bank’s own safeguards and Kenya’s obligations under international environmental and human rights conventions. The Cherangany Hills ecology The Cherangany Hills cuts across four administrative districts in Rift Valley Province. The hills are largely covered by a series of indigenous forests. These forests are made up of 12 administrative blocks.1 The Hills are important biodiversity hotspots as they harbour several forest types and regionally threatened species such as the Lammergeyer, African Crown Eagle, Red Chested Owlet, Sitatunga and Thick Billed Honey Guide. Several Ecosystems depend on water originating from it, including: Lake Victoria (Shared by Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania), Lake Turkana and Saiwa Swamp National Park.
