Isiolo Court Rules Against NRT Conservancies in Landmark Carbon Credits Case A court in Isiolo on Monday declared the Northern Rangelands Trust’s (NRT) "Community Conservancies" illegal, ruling that their operations violated constitutional rights and exploited local communities under the guise of conservation. The judgment found that NRT’s activities restricted access to grazing land and water points, depriving communities in Chari Ward, Cherab Ward, and Merti Sub-County of vital resources for their pastoral livelihoods. The court cited Articles 40 and 63 of the Constitution, affirming that the affected land belongs to the community and cannot be managed without their consent. The ruling comes weeks after a recent Deutsche Welle documentary that exposed NRT’s controversial carbon offsetting project. The project has been criticized for failing to provide any meaningful benefits to the communities while undermining their land rights and way of life. The documentary claims that there is no credible evidence of the project’s positive environmental impact, calling it “blood carbon.” Activists have been campaigning against NRT, alleging that the organization limits grazing areas for pastoralists and employs rangers accused of human rights violations. Some reports suggest that locals have been forced off their lands, attacked and even killed in the name of conservation. Despite these allegations, NRT continues to secure funding from major international donors like the European Commission, AFD France, and USAID. It also sells carbon credits to corporations such as Meta and Netflix, allowing them to greenwash their public image. Critics argue that the model enriches conservation organizations while marginalizing Indigenous communities and compromising their livelihoods. The Isiolo court maintained that NRT’s operations ignored constitutional and statutory land ownership laws while failing to recognize the cultural and economic significance of the land to local residents. It directed NRT to comply with community land ownership rights, granting them 14 days to appeal the decision. Community members have welcomed the ruling as a historic step toward protecting their ancestral lands and livelihoods.

U.N. official wants to decolonize AI and train new models with third-world "systems of knowledge" Deputy Secretary-General Amina J. Mohammed of Nigeria: "Colonial conquest brought catastrophe and genocide, in many cases on a continental scale. Entire communities were destroyed. Indigenous people were driven far from their lands. The assault was also on memory itself. Languages were suppressed. Knowledge gained through millennia of civilization, including in the Mayan codices, was deliberately put to the flame. Many traditions rooted in land and community and memory were lost." "These are living traditions carrying a wisdom that can help the region shape technological change in its own image towards its own vision of a good life, to pursue development on its own terms. And that starts with ensuring the people of this region can see themselves in the technology. More than 800 indigenous peoples live here, representing 60 million people. Many of their languages and systems of knowledge are sustained through oral traditions when AI systems are trained largely on written material that has been gathered elsewhere. That knowledge can be distorted or made invisible. Right now, Chile's National Center for Artificial Intelligence and 30 partner institutions are developing a LatAm GPT, an open-source model trained on regional data. Its first version is in Spanish and Portuguese, but researchers are also developing tools for other languages -- with the consent of the indigenous communities concerned. And that is what an inclusive reset can look like. Technology built with a fuller account of the people that it is meant to serve."
