Description
According to the NGO and Ogiek groups such as the Ogiek People’s Development Program, rangers and police are evicting up to 700 Ogiek people from their homes in Mau Forest, in the name of fortress conservation and carbon credits. Two landmark rulings by the African Court on Human and Peoples Rights (ACHPR) have upheld the Ogiek’s land rights in the Mau Forest.
