Misinformation surrounding land use and conservation efforts in Africa is not new. In Rachel Nuewer’s article, Africa’s Conservation Conundrum, Maxi Pia Louis, director of the Namibian Association of Community Based Natural Resource Management Support Organizations states “People don’t respect science anymore, and they’re making decisions without really having evidence. People are just emotive, and that is my biggest concern.” Some falsely claim that soil carbon projects harm pastoralism to draw on such emotions. The reality is the opposite: Partner organization Soils for the Future Africa and their Kajiado Rangeland Carbon Project (KRCP) is built on transparency, community leadership, and sustainability, supporting a future where both people and the ecosystems they depend on thrive.
