Thousands of livestock herders across the arid North Eastern Kenya can now rest secure, thanks to a new initiative that will shield them against loss of their livestock to drought. For the first time ever, a livestock insurance scheme has been introduced which will make use of satellite images to detect areas that could suffer from livestock loss.
