英文原文

The heavily wooded group of long hills and range rising to 2,500 metres (8,200 feet) at the highest elevation in the northern area of Meru County flie within the Nyambeni Forest Reserve. The hills also add to the mosaic of views along one of the most pleasing drives in Isiolo County from the point of view of scenery. The range is elongated in a north-east to south-west strike from the slopes of Mount Kenya varying in height from a few hundred feet in the south to fifty feet or so to the north, in which direction it gradually disappears. The gneiss hills close to Isiolo have been eroded down to about 5,700 feet and thus are somewhat recessed.

Densely wooded, the distinct Nyambeni Range, a shield volcano, is capped by phonolite lava domes, basaltic cones, and lava flows of late-Pleistocene. This sequence of volcanic ash cones puys of Nyambeni Range remain unfamiliar to many, partly because travelling to this region was only previously made by few strong-minded trippers who had to brave the sultry, torrid, dusty and desolate region with roads in disrepair. Today, the Nyambeni Range is within easy reach via a newly laid road that will end up in Wajir. Beyond the range, the plains merges with moderate lava cones, which extend this bolster rugged puys to near Isiolo.

96 kms from Meru Town along B6 Embu-Meru Road, north along A2 Nanyuki-Isiolo Road, and then northeast along B9 Isiolo-Mandera Roads sits Nyambene Forest, originally gazetted as a 640 km2 forest reserve under Kenya legal notice and reestablished in 2002 as the 265 km2 Nyambene National Reserve. It is home to various sacred natural sites, diverse flora, unique landforms and rivers. Native communities have preserved their role and responsibilities, passed down over centuries by their ancestors, as custodians of these sacred shrines through time.

Groves in the 5391-hectare in Nyambene Forest are revered as sacred shrines to the Ameru community living along the northeastern slopes of Mount Kenya. “This is a resource from which customs, spiritual practices, and governance systems are derived to protect the territory as a whole and maintain its order, integrity and well-being” – Gloria Borana. Contiguous with the Samburu National Reserve and abutting with the Buffalo Springs National Reserve, the reserve is named after its highest hill, the most conspicuous geological feature that rises to about 2514 ms.
