Conservation Measures Used to Check Human Encroachment on Aberdare Forest in Njabini Ward, Nyandarua County, Kenya

Country Kenya
Abstract Tropical mountain forests are under threat from human encroachment. Africa has a high population growth rate, leading to invasion of any unoccupied land. Aberdare Range ecosystem where Aberdare Forest is found is one of Kenya’s five water towers. This research sought to establish the conservation measures applied to check human encroachment on the Range. The study findings may raise awareness on the available conservation measures used in the Aberdare Forest. The main limitations encountered in this research were limitation of time and finances. Data were presented through frequencies, percentages, tables and graphs. This study was carried out in Njabini Ward, Nyandarua County, Kenya: where a sample of 384 people was selected from a population of 20,665. Questionnaires, interviews, observations and documentary data analysis were used as data collection instruments. From the study it was established that banning exploitation of indigenous tree species and prohibiting unauthorized entry into the forest had significant (p<0.05) influence on human encroachment. This study recommends that management of Aberdare Forest Reserve should adopt modern approaches to conservation.
Keywords Human encroachment, silverdure, water towers, livelihoods, indigenous tree species.
