Reproductive seasonality in African ungulates in relation to rainfall by Ogutu, Joseph O., Piepho, Hans-Peter, Dublin, Holly T.

“…Implications: Global climate change, especially widening annual rainfall variation expected to result from global warming, could reduce the predictability of the timing of peak forage availability and quality based on meteorological cues, the length of time with adequate nutrition or both, and hence reduce reproductive success among tropical ungulates.…”

AICCRA: Strengthening Systems for Delivery of Climate Information Services (CIS) and Agro-Advisories to Farmers in Kenya by Chesoli, Rose

“…Studies indicate that creating awareness on climate change and increasing farmers’ access to climate information services (CIS) and agro-advisories can promote resilience to climate impacts on food production (Appiah et al., 2025) (Ngigi & Muange, 2022). The Kenya Meteorological Department (KMD) in collaboration with other public entities such as Kenya Agricultural Livestock Research Organization (KALRO), Kenya National Disaster Management Authority (KNDMA), Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development (MoALD), and the private sector partners, provide early warning weather and climate information. …”
