Abstract
Kenya: Using GIS to Connect Ecosystem Services and Human Well-Being Track: Sustainable Development and Humanitarian Affairs Author(s): Janet Nackoney, Norbert Henninger, Paul Okwi, Florence Landsberg, Patti Kristjanson, Godfrey Ndeng'e, Robin Reid, Daniel Tunstall, Greg Mock, Mohammed Said Nature's Benefits in Kenya: An Atlas of Ecosystems and Human Well-Being is the result of a recent collaborative effort among several institutions in Kenya. The atlas demonstrates how geospatial data and maps can be used to analyze the spatial distribution of poverty and ecosystem services in Kenya. This article introduces concepts of ecosystem services, poverty, and environment-poverty relationships in Kenya and features selected maps from the atlas. It also presents conclusions from the atlas and discusses the ways in which the authors hope the atlas will be used by analysts and decision-makers in lead Kenyan institutions and elsewhere.
