Kenya – Greening the Mountain
Listen /
Women at a community-managed tree nursery that supplies seedlings for reforestation in the Mount Kenya region.
After decades of excessive logging and reduced water flow, Mount Kenya is becoming green again.
Thanks to a government pilot project financed by the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), primary school children have planted more than 4,000 trees.
Their efforts are part of a larger greening programme that has rehabilitated 2,600 hectares of forest and increased the water flow from Mount Kenya.
James Heer of IFAD reports.
