Livestock farmers raising alarm over the devastating impact of invasive plant species

Livestock farmers in Kajiado, Laikipia, and other arid counties are raising alarm over the devastating impact of invasive plant species, particularly a type of cactus from the ipomoea family. The plants are destroying pasturelands vital for livestock survival. Over three million acres in Kajiado county alone have already been taken over, posing a direct threat to livelihood.
