Rehabilitation of the Tana Delta Irrigation Project, Kenya: An Environmental Assessment. RECOMMENDATIONS Awareness As stated above, there is an urgent need to ensure that the local communities are fully aware of the conservation importance of these forests and the steps that donors are prepared to take to increase their participation and benefit from a conservation agenda. It is understood that EAWLS and CEPF are already designing/implementing such an awareness programme. Nurseries The TARDA tree nursery has not been a success (Glenday, pers. comm.), largely due to inappropriate species selection and inadequate understanding of local soil types and water table variability. Trial plots should have been set up in 1989 and monitored. There is insufficient time available to delay rehabilitation until such data is produced, however a concurrent monitoring of successes and failures can be used to modify the proposed programme on a regular ‘feed-back’ basis. The following indigenous species are a bare minimum of those that should be seed-sourced, wildling-sourced or vegetatively propagated and planted from the outset of the rehabilitation project: SPECIES FAMILY Local Name/Comment Lannea schweinfurthii (Engl.)
