The area has been highly invaded by Prosopis juliflora, an invasive species that was introduced in the country in the 1970s to rehabilitate degraded areas and with time spread rapidly. It has been associated with several problems, but in some places such as BaringoCounty, it has turned out to be a great source of woodfuel.
