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.
