The Report aims to inform communities, civil society, lawyers and policy makers of the importance of Sacred Natural Sites and Territories, and of the many emerging challenges that these sites and communities face. It examines how the Kenyan Constitution, national and international laws can support the recognition of Sacred Natural Sites and their community governance systems. It also explores some of the issues which need to be addressed in the pending Community Land Act in Kenya. A number of key recommendations are made, to strengthen the recognition of, and support for, local Custodians of Sacred Natural Sites and their customary governance systems based on Earth Law principles, which protect these areas.
