Caroline worked as soil science graduate student in a group of almost a dozen Master''s degree students in a complex multi-disciplinary team brought together to study an environmental problem. She contributed measurably to unravel and understand the causes of ecosystem degradation. This work was done collaboratively with colleagues in economics, botany, entomology, hydro-geology, zoology and climatology. Soil science data contained in this publication and data from the other disciplines contributed insights leading to recommendations that convinced the Government of Kenya to invest the equivalent of $1.3million that will help in arresting and hopefully, reversing the main causes of mountain forest degradation. This work will be replicated in other misty mountains in Kenya. Caroline , an Environmental management specialist graduated with a Master of Science in Soil Science from University of Nairobi and Bachelors of Agriculture degree from Egerton University. She is a Research Scientist and a grassroots leader with the Centre for training and integrated research in ASAL development. |
