The Lembus keep the forest plateau above Eldama Ravine, a country of tall cedar and podocarpus that has for generations supplied timber to the whole of the Rift.
The five clans of the Lembus, Somek, Murkaptuk, Kamarusoek, Emomiek and Torobek, still hold the old sections of the forest, and the community has long been the quiet guardian of the tree line between the ridges of Baringo and the Mau.
The Foundation recognises the Lembus as a community in their own right, alongside the sister communities of the ridge.
