dc.description.abstractThe Lower Tana River Forest (LTRF) Complex faces a major threat from human encroachment. Participatory Geographic Information Systems (P-GIS) that illustrate the decline in forest cover over the years, traced through resource mapping, can be combined with GIS images and presented to impacted communities in the context of the challenges they encounter. These tools can reinforce training related to the benefits of forest conservation and biodiversity. Focus group discussions and resource mapping sessions with communities living in the forests revealed that forums that discuss the impact of forest destruction do have an influence on people’s actions.en
