Second Transformative Pathways In-Person Meeting 

In February 2024, twelve project partners of the Transformative Pathways consortium gathered for the second in-person planning and review meeting at Laboot, Chepkitale in Kenya. The meeting hosted nearly 80 participants, including representatives of all organisations, and local community members of the Ogiek of Mt Elgon. The participants shared experiences focused on mapping and biodiversity monitoring, as well as on national level engagement with governments and key stakeholders. 

“During this meeting we have been able to see all the ways in which communities across the world are doing very similar things, facing very similar problems, and are now beginning to work in collaboration to find new ways to protect their lands and their resources”. – Helen Newing, ICCS
