By AGGREY MUTAMBOMore by this AuthorA global wildlife charity says a conservation plan for Lake Naivasha could be one way the world can adopt to prevent possible extinction of certain animal and plant species or even natural resources. Pastoralists fought for land rights as small-scale farmers along River Malewa which feeds the lake, demanded unrestricted use of its waters. But in 2011, these antagonists started to agree on how to manage the waters of Kenya’s second biggest fresh-water lake. For example, flower farms are required to continually plant trees and reduce dumping of chemicals into the lake. In fact the Imarisha Lake Naivasha Management Board, which handles this conservation plan, says it has designed a water use allocation system for each group, especially during times of drought.
