Rangeland Conditions Photo Dataset

These data were collected between March and July 2015 by about 113 pastoralists in Northern Kenya while going about their daily lives.  The contributors were asked to collect submissions as much as they liked, as long as those submissions were collected during daylight hours and were a minimum of 60 minutes apart.  A submission entailed taking a photo of the landscape and then completing a short survey about the prevalence of trees, shrubs and grasses; the dominant color of the leaves/grasses for each, if occurring, and their palatability.  In addition, participant provide a course estimate of the carrying capacity of the immediate area, types of animals grazing there, and distance to the nearest waterpoint. The project provided participants with a small token per submission.
