The Start of the Trail TUGEN TRAILS: THE ROLE OF TRADITIONAL KNOWLEDGE AND LOCAL VALUES OF ECOSYSTEM SERVICES IN THE RIFT VALLEY OF KENYA Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Leicester by Katharine Elizabeth Moore MSc (Leicester) Department of Geography University of Leicester September 2010 (c) Katharine E. Moore 12/01/11 This thesis is copyright material and no quotation from it may be published without proper acknowledgement. i Abstract Tugen Trails: The Role of Traditional Knowledge and Local Values of Ecosystem Services in the Rift Valley of Kenya Katharine Elizabeth Moore The concept of ecosystem services for human well-being is emerging as a strategic framework within environmental governance. It seeks to place values on the ecosystems on which humanity depends. This interdisciplinary study investigates the knowledge and values of ecosystem services for the Tugen people in the Rift Valley of Kenya; for one community, Sandai; and for one sector of that community, women. The study addresses issues of equity of ecosystem service valuations with regard to level of governance and heterogeneity of communities. The questions: ‘Whose value counts?’ and ‘Who pays the price?’ are asked repeatedly. A fresh approach is taken to the methodology by using hodology, the study of paths and interconnected ideas, to explore the natural and the intellectual environments. A long distance trail was walked across the Rift Valley to record links between environment and traditional knowledge. In Sandai, the competing value of the swamps for grazing, cultivation and biodiversity is demonstrated. Walking with Tugen women carrying heavy loads of water raised issues of equity in their roles in management of ecosystems services and their lack of involvement in environmental governance. In ecosystem service assessments women may pay the price for others’ decisions. Participatory video and mapping are linked with these walked trails and local voices are heard alongside my own. Finally, visualisations were produced using different media including Google Earth. Also a mediascape ‘Walking with water’ which enables an embodied understanding of the lives of women. This research demonstrates how local values for ecosystem services are directly related to human needs. It contributes to understanding how traditional knowledge and values may be used in ecosystem service valuations and debates. It argues that commodification of nature is problematic in communities where the ability to pay is hypothetical and presents novel ways in which local values of ecosystem services may be communicated. ii Acknowledgements There are many people that I would like to acknowledge for advice and support. In the UK, at the University of Leicester I would like to thank Dr Sue Page, Dr Clare Madge, Dr Katy Bennett and Dr Martin Phillips for their academic support throughout this study and their counsel when fieldwork was difficult; also Dr David Harper for his advice in Kenya; all the other staff and postgraduates in Geography who offered advice and encouragement along the journey. I am grateful to ESRC/NERC for funding this interdisciplinary study. I appreciate the support of all my friends who stuck by my academic heartache, particularly Kevin, Cathy and Bertil for long walks (with Chess and Tag) and caring for me and my house; grateful thanks to Kathy and Colin for proof reading. In Kenya: thank you to staff at LBNR who went out of their way to help, particularly Raphael Cherono, Titus Amdany, Jackson Komen, Anderson Tuitoek as my assistant and first class chapatti cook and Dennis Ngotie as my unofficial driver who kept the car full of petrol and our stomachs full of food as we walked. I am ever grateful to my guides who walked with me along the TransRift Trail, and the chiefs, councillors and people that I met along the way who shared their knowledge. I would like to say ‘Kongoi missing’ to the people of Sandai who gave their time to participate in this research, particularly the Chuine film team: Samson, Jackson, Nelson, and Joseph; and the women’s film-makers: Magdelaine, Susan, Lenah, Dorcas, Esther and Jacqueline. Thanks go to FONB and the Kenyan intern students working at LBNR. I am eternally grateful for the humour and support they all gave me and wish them good luck in all their ‘projects’. I would like to thank Vanessa and Mark Garland who gave me refuge in Nairobi plus Lucy Waruingi and Samantha Russell. Finally, but most importantly, I would like to thank William Kimosop for being my mentor, teacher and friend and for welcoming me into his home and family. The most important aspects to contribute to the success of my research were the friendships and warmth that I exchanged with my Kenyan friends. As I waited at the airport to return home, William text the following: “May God bless you abundantly for your kindness and big heart. You touched so many lives including mine. Keep knowing that you have a second home in Africa with doors wide open. You are always welcome.” iii Acronyms and Abbreviations ACC African Conservation Centre CBD Convention on Biological Diversity CBO Community Based Organisation ESPA Ecosystem Services for Poverty Alleviation ESRC Economic and Social Research Council FAO Food and Agriculture Organisation FONB Friends of Nature Bogoria GI Geographic Information GIS Geographical Information Science (System) GLCF Global Land Cover Facility GK Government of Kenya GPS Global Positioning System IBA Important Bird Area IISD International Institute for Sustainable Development IK Indigenous Knowledge IPBES Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services IPCC Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change IUCN International Union for Conservation of Nature KWS Kenya Wildlife Service LBNR Lake Bogoria National Reserve MA Millennium Ecosystem Assessment MDG Millennium Development Goal MRWTF MidRift Wildlife and Tourism Forum NEMA National Environment Monitoring Authority iv NERC Natural Environment Research Council NGO Non-Government Organisation PES Payment for Ecosystem Services PGIS Participatory GIS PRA Participatory Rural Appraisal PV Participatory Video TEK Traditional Ecological Knowledge UN United Nations UNCCD United Nations Commission to Combat Desertification UNDP United Nations Development Programme UNEP United Nations Environment Programme UNPFII United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues WRI World Resources Institute WRUA Water Resource Users Association WWF World Wide Fund for Nature v Glossary Baraza public meeting Duka small shop Mursik fermented milk drink Mzungu white person Mzee / wazee old man / old men Pan dam small earth dams for storing ground water Shamba farm or small holding; specific plots of cropland vi Table of Contents Abstract ............................................................................................................................. ii Acknowledgements ......................................................................................................... iii Acronyms and Abbreviations .......................................................................................... iv Glossary ........................................................................................................................... vi Table of Figures ............................................................................................................ xiii Table of Tables ........................................................................................................... xviii Chapter 1 Introduction ...................................................................................................... 2 1.1 The trails of this thesis ............................................................................................ 2 1.2 The start of the trail ................................................................................................. 3 1.3 Research Questions, Aims and Objectives ............................................................. 9 1.4 Connecting Trails .................................................................................................. 11 1.5 Following the academic trail ................................................................................. 15 Chapter 2 Literary Trails ................................................................................................. 19 2.1 Introduction: Navigating the network of trails ..................................................... 19 2.2 Ecosystem services ............................................................................................... 20 2.2.1 The ecosystem services approach .................................................................. 20 2.3 The nature of Value and the value of Nature ........................................................ 28 2.3.1 The nature of value ........................................................................................ 28 2.3.2 The value of nature ........................................................................................ 33 2.4 Environmental Governance .................................................................................. 38 vii 2.5 Local knowledge and traditional values ............................................................... 47 2.5.1 Defining indigenous, traditional, local and culture ........................................ 47 2.5.2 Ethnoecology: the importance of traditional knowledge ............................... 52 2.5.3 Critical discourses on ethnic mapping and a sense

  • Page| 96 Technological Advances That Enabled the Tugen to Adapt
    Proceedings of the Kabarak University International Research Conference on Emerging Trends and Issues in Education, Kabarak University, Nakuru, Kenya. 23th - 24h October 2018 Edited by Ndonye M Technological Advances That Enabled The Tugen To Adapt To The Physical Environment; A Historical Perspective. Sarah Kiptala School of education, Kabarak university P.o private bag- 20157, Kabarak Tel. 0711733911; E-mail; [email protected] ABSTRACT Ever since man evolved,he has continously manipulated the environment for his own survival and the society at large. The physical environment has been crucial in man’s adaptation process as it dictated what man should do and how he should live. Climate change on the other hand has been a phenomena throughout history and man had to adapt to the changing climatic conditions. With a climate change, new species emerge and older species dissapear necesitating man to explore and come up with new techniques to cope with the change. We cannot control the weather. In the 21st century one may ask why the past would bother them. Historically the past activities shapes the future activities. Therefore, to built up history one has to start with the past. The main purpose of this paper is to identify the historical technological advances which has enabled the Tugen of baringo county, to adapt to the physical environment and understand the importance of the indigenous technology in shaping the life of the Tugen. As the tugen were therefore manipulating the environment for their survival through agricuture, hunting and gathering, clothing etc they either encountered or created problems which also required to be solved through continous technological innovations.

  • A Collection of 100 Tugen Proverbs and Wise Sayings
    A COLLECTION OF 100 TUGEN PROVERBS AND WISE SAYINGS By KEVIN NAMATSI OKUBO Africa Proverb Working Group NAIROBI, KENYA MAY 2017 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I wish to acknowledge and thank the relentless effort for all those who played a major part in completion of this document. My utmost thanks go to Fr. Joseph G. Healey, both financial and moral support. My special thanks go to CephasAgbemenu, Margaret Ireri, Elias Bushiri and LaurMwepu who guided me accordingly to ensure that my research was completed. Furthermore I also want to thank BartoosChebor for his enormous assistance, without forgetting publishers of Tugen proverbs and resources who made this research possible. INTRODUCTION Location The Tugen are a sub group of the Kalenjin people alongside the Nandi, Kipsigis, Keiyo, Pokot, Marakwet, Sabaot, Ogiek, Lembus and Sengwer sub-groups in Kenya. Daniel arap Moi, the second president of Kenya (1978–2002), was from the Tugen sub-tribe. The Tugen people speak the Tugen language. The Lembus people are confused as being either Nandi or a sub group of Kalenjin; but has been dismissed with history discovered of the lembus people. They are predominantly a group of People who originally lived in the forest called Somek, Murkaptuk, Kamaruso and Partially assimilated Ogiek. The Ethnographical Location of The Tugen Ethnic Group In Kenya Myth of Origin Linguistic evidence points to the eastern Middle Nile Basin south of the Abbai River, as the ancient homelands of the Kalenjin. That is to say south-east of present day Khartoum. They were not a distinct group of people at this time but part of a wider society today referred to as Nilotic peoples.

The article comparatively examines the Endorois and Southern Cameroon decisions adopted in 2009 in an effort to uncover the challenges faced by the African Commission in contextually applying peoples’ rights provisions of the African Charter to particular collectives. In the Endorois case, the Commission made a positive finding on violations of applicants’ claims of violations of their collective rights as an indigenous people. Conversely, in the Southern Cameroon case, the Commission made a negative finding on the applicants’ arguments for remedial secession, using more or less the same collective rights provisions of the African Charter. The article contextualises the two cases in critically examining the African Commission’s legal reasoning in both decisions.
