Ogiek tribes men drive their donkey to the Mauche settlement scheme of Mau Forest Complex in the Rift Valley, about 200 km (127 miles) to the south-west of Kenya's capital Nairobi, July 29, 2009. The excisions of the Mau Forest is significantly reducing the ability of the forest ecosystem to cope with natural disasters, in particular drought, hence leading to more severe impacts. Destruction of the woodland by rampant illegal settlement, logging and charcoal burning threatens severe damage to Kenya's economy with an impact on energy, tourism, agriculture and water supply to cities and industry.
