From the ILRI e-newsletter, May 31, 2007: "On Wednesday 30 May, ILRI and partners launched 'Nature's benefits in Kenya: An atlas of ecosystems and well-being'. It is a first attempt to provide information on how people, land and prosperity are related....The atlas and its 96 different maps include significant policy and economic development analyses that will be useful to policy-makers worldwide to improve understanding of the relationships between poverty and the environment. The atlas overlays statistical information on population and household expenditures with spatial data on ecosystems and their services -water availability, livestock and wildlife populations, etc. - to provide a picture of how land, people and prosperity are related in Kenya."
