Fighting for Survival: Indigenous Peoples and Climate Change in Kenya

“Fighting For Survival” is a passionate short video expressing the views of indigenous communities in Kenya on the radical impact of climate change on their lives.
Drought, deforestation and environmental degradation threaten the economic and cultural survival of forest-dwelling and nomadic indigenous peoples in Kenya, posing a life-and-death challenge to these fragile cultures.
Featured indigenous communities include the Ogiek of the Mau Forest, The Yiaku of the Mukogodo Forest, the Ilchamus pastoralists of Lake Baringo and the Samburu nomadic pastoralists of northern Kenya.

Produced by the Indigenous Peoples of Africa Co-ordinating Committee (IPACC) and the Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation ACP-EU (CTA)
