Sinossi

<p>For centuries, Kenya's Laikipia region has been a grazing route for indigenous pastoralist com- munities. It is also home to white ranchers and conservationists who settled there during the colonial era and stayed after Kenya's independence. Laikipia has been feeling the ravaging effects of climate change for decades; the pastoralists, ranchers, and conservancies rely on Laikipia’s grasslands to sustain their cattle and wildlife. When drought and elections collide, conflict erupts.</p>
