3.1.2 Direct Use by the Ogiek CommunityThe East Mau Forest hosts the Ogiek community whose livelihoods depend entirely onthe forest. The Ogiek are forest dwellers who argue that they may not survive outsidethe forest. They rarely farm any crops, but keep livestock. The Eastern Mau hostsapproximately 600 Ogiek households; most of the households are located at Marishoniwhile about 80 are at Kiptunga, the source of the Mara River. Other Ogiek householdsare found in Likia, Logman and Nessuit. According to Langat and Cheboiwo (2010), theOgiek are wholly dependent on forests for their livelihoods through subsistencecultivation and livestock keeping (mostly sheep and few cattle). 2 The results in Table 3show that the value of direct use of forest resources by the Ogiek in the East Mau Forestis approximately KES 10 million (US$ 1.3 million), mostly in firewood (48%), poles (17%)and grazing (13%).Table 3: The value of forest to the Ogiek communityProduct/serviceAverage/yearFirewood(headlots)Poles(pieces)Timber(m 3 )MedicineWater forlivestock(m 3 )Waterforhouseholds(m 3 )Grazin Thatchg grass(bales) (perheadlot)Honey (kg)Charcoal(bags)Culturalsites136 32.76 0.01 - 12.8 7.3 11 8 6 8 -Unit price 100 100 15,700 1,000 1,000 200 50 150 200 -Collectionandprocessinglabour38 7 9,500 950 950 - 8 50 50 -Net value(KES)5,059,2001,828,00837,200 - 384,000 219,0001,320,000201,600360,000720,000360,000Proportion(%) 48 17 0 0 4 2 13 2 3 7 33.1.3 Direct Use Value by Timber ExtractorsThe Eastern Mau forest, with about 3000ha under pine and cypress plantations, is themost exploited forest in terms of timber extraction, mostly by two forest basedindustries, Timsales and Comply.
