Women from diverse communities in Isiolo County are warning that climate change is not only impacting livelihoods but also eroding indigenous cultures, traditional knowledge, and ways of life.

• The women, under the Queen of Peace Community-Based Organisation (CBO), are concerned about the disappearance of indigenous foods, medicinal plants, cultural artefacts, and traditional seed banks due to changing climatic conditions.
• Speakers like Kuresha Bille (Somali community) and Lucia Ekwam (Turkana community) highlighted the accelerating loss of cultural identity, traditional dress, ceremonies, and medicinal herbs.
• They are urging the Isiolo County Government to integrate cultural preservation into its development plans, citing successful examples from Narok County where communities co-exist with wildlife and benefit from tourism.
