Natures Benefits in Kenya An Atlas of Ecosystems and Human Well-Being
Natureandrsquos Benefits in Kenya is an Atlas of Ecosystems and Human Well-Being represents a step forward in the analysis of poverty in Kenya and its relation to the natural environment. It is the result of a partnership of national and international organizations, some of which were involved in preparing the first high-resolution poverty maps of Kenya. This publication springs from an effort among these partners to overlay the newly created poverty maps with environmental resource maps based on surveys and remote sensing data. The intent is to show the location and status of key environmental resources that are likely to have significant links with poverty. In creating this report, we worked with several purposes and audiences in mind.

L-02 Baxaalli-dhul Meelo Daraasad loo Doortay gudaha Somaliland iyo Koonfurta Soomaaliya
Natiijada u muhiimsan daraasaddan waa xog-ururin baxaalli-dhul cusub ee aagag danayn gaar ah loo doortay (AOI). Waxaa la sameeyey khariidaynta baxaalli-dhulalka oo heer faahfaahin dhexe ah 1:50 000 ilaa 1 : 100 000 oo hadda ah tan ugu dambeysa, la faahfaahiyey oo xog-ururin sugan leh oo gaarsiisan qaybo badan oo dhulka Soomaaliyeed ka mid ah. Sansaaka muuqaal iyo sarrayn dhul ayaa la khariidadeeyey iyadoo la marayo tarjumaad muuqaal masawirro dayax-gacmeed oo ay weheliso cabirista abuurta dhulka (geomorphometry). Warbixinta waxaa ku jira laba ah khariidado baxaalli-dhul (landform), midbana u taagan yahay labada goobood ee daraasadda. Warbixinta ayaa loo isticmaali karaa diiwaangelin khayraad dabiici ah iyo maareyn. Waxay waxtar u leedahay in loo adeegsado khariidadayn ciid iyo ded dhul iyo qiimayn haboonaanshiyo dhul.

L-04 land use characterisation of a selected study area in Somaliland
There is a growing concern over the degradation of natural and agro-ecosystems.In this case, land use studies form the basis for analysis of the causes leading to degradation of agro-ecosystem outputs, or deterioration of a natural ecosystem.This study combines the scientific research techniques of GIS and remote sensing as mapping tools, accompanied by ground observations involving site-specific semi structured interviews with local people familiar with the area and contact with local organizations.
The information generated can be used to assist in making wise choices about land use, determining where best to locate new settlements, cropping, drainage, irrigation, where and when to apply new technologies, to explain spatial and temporal variations in output, and to respond to many other questions about management, use and conservation of the natural
environment
