It is evident that the community living around the Dadaab refugee camp are aware of the dangers posed by human settlement on the environment management. Natural resources around the refugee camp have been declining every year due to influx of the refugees in the area who compete for the meager resources with the locals without replacing them and this spells doom to the community due to depletion of the resources which mainly support their life.
