Save the Aberdare Forest

Save the Aberdare Forest, Kenia

81.3  VQS-Score 

Our project aims to restore the degraded Aberdare Forest by addressing the impacts of illegal logging, charcoal burning, and encroachment. To reverse this damage, we are planting indigenous tree species and supporting local communities with improved cookstoves and biogas units. These efforts not only restore the ecosystem but also enhance community resilience to climate change.

Great

In just 3 years, the Pine tree (Pinus) can soar over 5 meters, making it one of the fastest-growing species! 🌱✨ Loved by birds 🐦 and nature alike, its fallen branches naturally enrich the soil, providing mulch and manure to fuel even more growth. 🌿
