The biggest threat to forest is human activities. Despite increasing efforts regarding forest management and forest conservation, the deforestation continues at a high rate to give space for other land uses such as agriculture and pasture. The world’s population continues to grow and Africa is the continent with fastest growing population. During the last 100 years this has led to major changes in the African landscape, and Kenya is no exception. This MFS (Minor Field Study) was conducted in cooperation with the nongovernmental organization SCC-Vi Agroforestry. The study area is located in Marakwet district in western Kenya and the district has one of the largest remaining natural forests in the country. At the same time, the area is experiencing ongoing illegal deforestation. The aim of the study was to investigate and map the deforestation in the study area during the 23 years period from 1986 to 2009 by using satellite data. -
