Photo by @amivitale. A donkey sleeps under a dark sky in Melako, an arid landscape in northern Kenya. Rainfall here is rare, as are permanent settlements and solid infrastructure.  Pastoralists from Melako are part of the Northern Rangelands Trust (@nrt_kenya) and are learning how conservation and grazing management can lead to healthier cattle, better grass and more wildlife. Follow me (@amivitale) for more stories on conservation efforts that not only protect wildlife and resources but promote peace and community resiliency. @natgeo @natgeocreative @natgeoadventure @thephotosociety #amivitale #kenya #whyilovekenya #seekenya #natureisspeaking #conservation #photooftheday
