Climate Impacts on Plant Biodiversity and Maasai Women's Livelihoods

By: Sinteria, John

This book examines how climate change is reshaping plant biodiversity and intensifying livelihood vulnerability among Maasai women in Narok County, Kenya. Integrating 30 years of climate data with ethnobotanical surveys and vulnerability analysis, it demonstrates how rising temperatures, rainfall variability, and biodiversity loss are eroding traditional ecological knowledge and undermining women's socio-economic resilience. The book advances a gender-responsive, social-ecological framework that links climate science, biodiversity conservation, and women-led adaptation strategies for sustainable pastoral futures.
