It is not that some of us do not know how to live inside a forest that we make assumptions that everyone who gets access and lives in a particular forest causes destruction. The Ogieks and the Ndorobos know how they live and fend for themselves. They are Aborigines of particular regions I have mentioned and take care of particular forests. That is what you get when you use a community to manage a forest. Section 38 of the Forest Conservation and Management Act that has been referred to many times gives direction on what is expected of each and every county government."}
