WWANC visited Ihondolo block of Kakamega Forest together with Conservation Heritage Turambe (CHT-Rwanda)Director- Valerie Akuredusenge and WEA African Program manager – Theresa Muthoni to showcase the ongoing restoration efforts led by local scouts and women champions.
We had an interactive session where the scouts shared their stories that proved that restoring forests is not just about planting trees but also about restoring lives and protecting biodiversity. We also managed to gap 1,100 tree seedling at the site.
In the spirit of conservation, our team in partnership with Women’s Earth Alliance (WEA) managed to gap 4,071 indigenous trees at Ihondolo site which is a segment of the Kakamega Forest as we gear up efforts in the fight against climate change.
Alongside regenerating the Tropical Rainforest to help combat climate change and boost biodiversity, the initiative which has seen over 30 dedicated women take part in this conservation journey also aims to create income-generating livelihoods for women through tree planting and establishment of community tree nurseries
As an Organization, we are committed to ensuring that the Kakamega Tropical Rainforest, the only remaining Tropical Rainforest in the region which was destroyed due to human activities is restored back to its initial status.
