The Mau Forest Complex Reforestation Launch
Did you know that the Mau Forest Complex is the largest forest with indigenous trees in Kenya? Having said that, the Mau has been on the news for all the wrong reasons. One is that it is being encroached, leading to its degradation.
The main objective is to work towards the conservation of the 5 major water towers in Kenya. These include The Mau Complex, Aberdares, Mount Kenya, Cherangany, and Mount Elgon. The French Development Agency (AFD) has been a great supporter of our efforts to ensure that we sustain these water towers. Thanks to their efforts, we have signed a 4-year grant that will see the restoration of the Mau Complex run until December 2024. The project will cover the degraded Dundori, Nandi North, and Tinderet forests.
