About the project
Kijabe Environment Programme
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Forest conservation is a hot topic in many tropical countries around the world. The need for retaining as much of these forests as possible for human wellbeing, is relentlessly countered by the overwhelming need to destroy them either for subsistence or commercial purposes. It is increasingly clear that conservation heavily hinges upon local communities’ wholehearted support. Besides describing conservation issues facing Kereita forest (an Important Bird Area and part of the renowned Aberdare Range), its biodiversity and ongoing conservation activities, this website attempts to detail how the Kijabe Environment Volunteers (KENVO) grew into the robust conservation unit it is today.
💼 What the programme involves
This includes activities such as:- - Training students on importance of environmental conservation - Tree nursery site preparation - Identification of trees which can survive in the area - Pottery - Seeding
