“It’s not just about emissions — it’s about equity, voice, and the right to define your own future.”

In a powerful episode of The Bionic Planet Podcast, Kenyan pastoralists challenge how Western NGOs and media portray them in global narratives on climate change, conservation, and land use.

🔍 What’s at stake:

-Misrepresentation of traditional pastoral livelihoods as environmentally destructive
-Conservation models that exclude Indigenous and local knowledge
-Carbon market interventions that risk becoming modern forms of land control if not designed inclusively

At Viresco, we believe that successful climate solutions must be context-driven and co-created. This episode is a reminder that just transitions must include not only jobs and energy — but justice and cultural sovereignty.
