Remote sensing applications in support of drought early warning and NRM in rangelands
![Page 2: Presentation by Jan de Leeuw “3 rd CRAM Meeting” RCRMD Nairobi, Kenya](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070418/568158a8550346895dc5fb39/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
ILRI and RS in rangelands
• ILRI - livestock and rangeland research
• Focus on livelihoods livestock keepers– Poverty and vulnerability reduction – Enhancing food security – Environmental sustainability
• Research aiming at impact• Involving users of information early stage
![Page 3: Presentation by Jan de Leeuw “3 rd CRAM Meeting” RCRMD Nairobi, Kenya](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070418/568158a8550346895dc5fb39/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
ILRI and RS in rangelands
• Drought management– Review effectiveness drought management– Livestock population dynamics – Livestock insurances–
• Natural resource management – Payment and accounting ecosystem services – Watershed management
![Page 4: Presentation by Jan de Leeuw “3 rd CRAM Meeting” RCRMD Nairobi, Kenya](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070418/568158a8550346895dc5fb39/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Risk in the ASALs
• Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASAL) residents live in harsh and volatile environments
• High level of risk:– Drought, Disease, Conflict
• Low coping capacity:– Infrastructure deficient– Few alternative opportunities
• ASALs 70% national livestock herd, valued 0.7 Billion US $
![Page 5: Presentation by Jan de Leeuw “3 rd CRAM Meeting” RCRMD Nairobi, Kenya](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070418/568158a8550346895dc5fb39/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Impact Drought on Livelihoods
Livestock is both the principal asset and source of income for the vast majority of ASAL residents
Proportion of total income by source

Impact of Drought on Livelihoods
• Drought single greatest cause of livestock mortality
Livestock mortality by cause

Approach study
1.Review available early warning data
2.Survey of stakeholders in six districts
1. Interviews of Gov, NGO’s and communities
2.What interventions and when
3.Timeliness, appropriateness and effectiveness and involvement of stakeholders
3.Review triggers for release of contingency funds

Timing of interventions
• Early warning (EWB) alarm stage
• Districts without RS drought evidence given highest alarm
• Social indicators higher weight than state of rangeland

Livestock and repetitive drought
• Aerial survey data Kadjiado
• Livestock biomass relates to 5 year average NDVI
• NDVI now at historic low
• Collapse livestock populations
![Page 16: Presentation by Jan de Leeuw “3 rd CRAM Meeting” RCRMD Nairobi, Kenya](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070418/568158a8550346895dc5fb39/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Effectiveness of drought management strategies
• Drought management strategies assume drought to be regular and short
• RS record learns that droughts differ in depth, duration and repeat time
• Strategies effective during short lived and moderate drought may be ineffective during deep, prolonged and repetitive drought
![Page 17: Presentation by Jan de Leeuw “3 rd CRAM Meeting” RCRMD Nairobi, Kenya](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070418/568158a8550346895dc5fb39/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Index Based Livestock Insurances (IBLI)
• Livestock mortality imposes costs on pastoralists
• Insurance can mitigate this risk
• Conventional insurance not viable in remote areas - high transactions costs
• IBLI makes payment to policy holders based on external “index” that triggers payouts
![Page 18: Presentation by Jan de Leeuw “3 rd CRAM Meeting” RCRMD Nairobi, Kenya](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070418/568158a8550346895dc5fb39/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Need for a measure that is:
1. Highly correlated with livestock mortality2. Reliably and cheaply available3. Historically available
NDVI + livestock mortality data Response function to calculate risk and
premium
The INBI Index

Development of insurance
• ILRI with insurer and reinsurer
• Commercial sustainability – reinsurance
• Social impacts – resilience livelihoods?
• Environmental impacts?
• RS data continuity
![Page 23: Presentation by Jan de Leeuw “3 rd CRAM Meeting” RCRMD Nairobi, Kenya](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070418/568158a8550346895dc5fb39/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Natural resource management
• Livelihood approach to rangelands – What benefits do people derive from rangelands? – Importance rangelands to pastoralists and economy?
• Several activities to account for – benefits that people derive from rangelands– the ecosystem services that support these benefits
• Providing spatial information to support government and local communities
![Page 24: Presentation by Jan de Leeuw “3 rd CRAM Meeting” RCRMD Nairobi, Kenya](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070418/568158a8550346895dc5fb39/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Mapping ecosystem services Ewaso Ng’iro catchment
• Mapping ecosystem services of the Ewaso Ng’iro catchment
• Purpose to support Ministry of North Kenya and Arid Lands
• Compiling atlas based on existing spatial information

Competing claims and wildlife
![Page 28: Presentation by Jan de Leeuw “3 rd CRAM Meeting” RCRMD Nairobi, Kenya](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070418/568158a8550346895dc5fb39/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Valuing services
•Valuation of ecosystem services •Based on mapping of services and economic information
![Page 29: Presentation by Jan de Leeuw “3 rd CRAM Meeting” RCRMD Nairobi, Kenya](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070418/568158a8550346895dc5fb39/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Data availability and gaps
• Surprising how much data was available
• Specific gaps where RS could assist– Rangeland biomass production – Rangeland degradation – Rainfall estimates– Partitioning of water resources – Livestock surveys
![Page 30: Presentation by Jan de Leeuw “3 rd CRAM Meeting” RCRMD Nairobi, Kenya](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070418/568158a8550346895dc5fb39/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Support discussion on water use in Ewaso catchment
• Many highland rivers discharge in drylands
• Discharge important to downstream users – Secure surface water and forage– Recharge of aquifers and wetlands
• Retention of agricultural water upstream deprives downstream communities from rivers’ benefits
• Synthesis of upstream downstream connectivity to support discussion among water use associations
![Page 31: Presentation by Jan de Leeuw “3 rd CRAM Meeting” RCRMD Nairobi, Kenya](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070418/568158a8550346895dc5fb39/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Vulnerability to abstractions of the benefits from river water
• Blue surface water – highly vulnerable
• Green water – highly vulnerable
• Groundwater recharge – low vulnerability
• Insight will be used in discussion between up and downstream water use associations

Agenda RS applications address problems in pastoral lands
• Institutional context of RS information provisioning
• Evaluate impact of RS data supply
• Develop new products – Methods livestock surveys – Insight livestock production and droughts – Rangeland biomass production and degradation – Rainfall and partitioning of water resources
