1.3 Aim
This contribution demonstrates how an established interdisciplinary participatory approach (Figure 1) supported community-led change in land management in an East African agro-pastoral community. It explores how integration of drone survey data and geospatial analysis of erosion extent and risk, supported by communication of ‘process’ and ‘structural’ hydrological connectivity, with community participation successfully underpinned and catalysed a community-led tree planting and grass seed sowing programme to mitigate soil erosion by water.
