  • Journal of the East Africa Natural History Society and National Museum
    JOURNAL OF THE EAST AFRICA NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY AND NATIONAL MUSEUM 15 October, 1978 Vol. 31 No. 167 A CHECKLIST OF mE SNAKES OF KENYA Stephen Spawls 35 WQodland Rise, Muswell Hill, London NIO, England ABSTRACT Loveridge (1957) lists 161 species and subspecies of snake from East Mrica. Eighty-nine of these belonging to some 41 genera were recorded from Kenya. The new list contains some 106 forms of 46 genera. - Three full species have been deleted from Loveridge's original checklist. Typhlops b. blanfordii has been synonymised with Typhlops I. lineolatus, Typhlops kaimosae has been synonymised with Typhlops angolensis (Roux-Esteve 1974) and Co/uber citeroii has been synonymised with Meizodon semiornatus (Lanza 1963). Of the 20 forms added to the list, 12 are forms collected for the first time in Kenya but occurring outside its political boundaries and one, Atheris desaixi is a new species, the holotype and paratypes being collected within Kenya. There has also been a large number of changes amongst the 89 original species as a result of revisionary systematic studies. This accounts for the other additions to the list. INTRODUCTION The most recent checklist dealing with the snakes of Kenya is Loveridge (1957). Since that date there has been a significant number of developments in the Kenyan herpetological field. This paper intends to update the nomenclature in the part of the checklist that concerns the snakes of Kenya and to extend the list to include all the species now known to occur within the political boundaries of Kenya. It also provides the range of each species within Kenya with specific locality records .

In an urbanized world, countries are apt to be judged according to their degree of urbanization. A glance at the map shows that the under-developed countries are also, by and large, rural. Cities have long existed in Africa, of course. From the ancient trade and cultural centers of Carthage and Alexandria to the mediaeval sultanates of East Africa, urban life has long existed in some degree or another. Yet none of these cities changed significantly the rural character of the African hinterland. Today the city needs to be more than the occasional market place, the seat of political authority, and a haven for the literati. It remains these of course, but it is much more. It must be the industrial and economic wellspring of a large area, perhaps of a nation. The city has become the concomitant of industrialization and industrialization the concomitant 1 2 of the revolution of rising expectations. African cities today are largely the products of colonial enterprise but are equally the measure of their country's progress. The city is witness everywhere to the acute personal, familial, and social upheavals of society in the process of urbanization.

  • Historical Background: Early Exploration in the East African Rift--The Gregory Rift Valley
    Downloaded from http://sp.lyellcollection.org/ by guest on September 26, 2021 SIR PETER KENT Historical background: Early exploration in the East African Rift--The Gregory Rift Valley In relation to modern lines of communication it seems surprising that the Gregory Rift Valley was the last part of the system to become known. Much of the earlier exploration had however been centred on the problem of the sources of the Nile, and in consequence the Western or Albertine Rift was explored by Samuel Baker as early as 1862/63 (Baker 1866). Additionally there was a strong tendency to use the convenient base at Zanzibar Island for journeys inland by the Arab slave trading routes from Pangani and Bagamoyo; these led to the Tanganyika Rift and Nyasaland rather than to the area of modern Kenya. The first penetrations into the Gregory Rift area were in I883; Joseph Thomson made an extensive journey into Central Kenya which he described in his book of 1887, 'Through Masai Land' which had as a subtitle, 'a journey of exploration among the snowclad volcanic mountains and strange tribes of Eastern Equatorial Africa--being the narrative of the Royal Geographical Society's Expedition to Mount Kenya and Lake Victoria Nyanza i883-84'. In his classic journey Thomson practically encircled the lower slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro and reached the Gregory Rift wall near the Ngong Hills. He then went north to Lake Baringo and westwards to Lake Victoria, before returning to his starting point at Mombasa. His observations on the geology were of good standard for the time.

  • Turning Conflict Into Coexistence: Cross-Cutting Ties and Institutions in the Agro-Pastoral Borderlands of Lake Naivasha Basin, Kenya
    Turning conflict into coexistence: cross-cutting ties and institutions in the agro-pastoral borderlands of Lake Naivasha basin, Kenya Inaugural dissertation to complete the doctorate from the Faculty of Arts and Humanities of the University of Cologne in the subject, Social and Cultural Anthropology presented by Eric Mutisya Kioko born on 03.05.1983 in Machakos, Kenya Cologne, November 2016 Abstract The Maasai/Kikuyu agro-pastoral borderlands of Maiella and Enoosupukia, located in the hinterlands of Lake Naivasha’s agro-industrial hub, are particularly notorious in the history of ethnicised violence in the Kenya’s Rift Valley. In October 1993, an organised assault perpetrated by hundreds of Maasai vigilantes, with the assistance of game wardens and administration police, killed more than 20 farmers of Kikuyu descent. Consequently, thousands of migrant farmers were violently evicted from Enoosupukia at the instigation of leading local politicians. Nowadays, however, intercommunity relations are surprisingly peaceful and the cooperative use of natural resources is the rule rather than the exception. There seems to be a form of reorganization. Violence seems to be contained and the local economy has since recovered. This does not mean that there is no conflict, but people seem to have the facility to solve them peacefully. How did formerly violent conflicts develop into peaceful relations? How did competition turn into cooperation, facilitating changing land use? This dissertation explores the value of cross-cutting ties and local institutions in peaceful relationships and the non-violent resolution of conflicts across previously violently contested community boundaries. It mainly relies on ethnographic data collected between 2014 and 2015.

  • Conservation of Natural and Cultural Heritage in Kenya
    Conservation of Natural and Cultural Heritage in Kenya Heritage and Cultural Natural Conservation of In Kenya, cultural and natural heritage has a particular value. Its prehistoric heritage not only tells the story of man's origin and evolution but Conservation has also contributed to the understanding of the earth's history, via fossils and artefacts spanning over 27 million years that have been discovered and conserved by the National Museums of Kenya (NMK). Alongside this, the steady rise in the market value of African art has also affected Kenya: demand for African tribal art has surpassed that for antiquities of of Roman, Byzantine, and Egyptian origin, and in African countries currently experiencing conflicts, this activity invariably attracts looters, traffickers and criminal networks. This book brings together essays by heritage experts from different Natural backgrounds, including conservation, heritage management, museum studies, archaeology, environment and social sciences, architecture and landscape, geography, philosophy and economics to explore three key themes: the underlying ethics, practices and legal issues of heritage and conservation; the exploration of architectural and urban heritage of Nairobi; and the natural heritage, landscapes and sacred sites in relation to local Kenyan communities and tourism. It thus provides an overview of conservation practices in Kenya from 2000 to 2015 and highlights the role of natural and cultural heritage as a key factor of social-economic Cultural development, and as a potential instrument for conflict resolution.

  • Assessment of Private Sector Investment Potential in the Energy Sector
    KENYA NDC PRIVATE SECTOR ENGAGEMENT PROJECT Engaging private sector in NDC implementation - Assessment of private sector investment potential in the energy sector October 2020 ABOUT UNDP UNDP’s work on climate change spans more than 140 countries and USD $3.7 billion in investments in climate change adaptation and mitigation measures since 2008. With the goal to foster ambitious progress towards resilient, zero-carbon development, UNDP has also supported the implementation of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change by working with countries on achieving their climate commitments or Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). THE UNDP NDC SUPPORT PROGRAMME The NDC Support Programme provides technical support for countries to pursue a “whole-of-society”, integrated approach that strengthens national systems, facilitates climate action and increases access to finance for transformative sustainable development. The programme helps countries address these financial barriers by deploying a structured approach for scaling up sectoral investments and putting in place a transparent, enabling investment environment. Beyond direct country support, UNDP facilitates exchanges and learning opportunities on NDC implementation at the global and regional level by capitalizing on our close collaboration with the UNFCCC and other strategic partners. The Programme, which works in contribution to the NDC Partnership, is generously supported by the German Federal Minister for the Environment, Nature Conservation, and Nuclear Safety (BMU), the German Federal Ministry
