NAIROBI — The water supply for Nairobi's five million people — and four million others besides — depends on the Tana river, which flows for 1,000 km from the Aberdare mountains to the Indian Ocean. The decades-long spread of agriculture in the upper reaches of the Tana's catchment area has stripped hillsides of trees, prompting erosion that's compromised both the farmland and the quality of the water that Kenya's capital depends on.

Cattle and conservation don't typically mix. For centuries, East African pastoralists like the Maasai trudged across the region's savannas with their herds, passing by elephants and lions in their search for life-giving grasses. But times have changed. Today, landscapes that were once a no-man's-land are a bordered maze of ranches, farms and national parks. Cattle are especially unwelcome in the latter.
Researchers say carbon credit projects involving private companies, NGOs and logging companies have proliferated in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
