In this episode, we uncover the troubling truth behind the carbon credit scheme sweeping across Kenya ,a deal that offers indigenous communities in Oldonyonyokie just $2 and a 40-year lease in exchange for their ancestral lands. Pitched as part of a green solution under the “Soil for the Future Africa” initiative, this project is now facing intense backlash from local communities who say the price of sustainability is being unfairly dumped on the most vulnerable. Through the lens of the Maasai people of Oldonyonyokie, we explore: • How carbon offset deals are structured and who truly benefits • Why indigenous land stewards are calling this a punitive, neo-colonial land grab • The deep spiritual, cultural, and generational ties between people and land • The global players profiting from Africa’s soil under the guise of climate action This isn’t just about climate change ,it’s about sovereignty, exploitation, and the dangerous repackaging of colonial practices as “green” development. #LNN #LNS Support Our Work MPESA: +254 726 916 908 Or through PayBill: 4096889 Account Name: LNN Thank You
