Our project aims to restore the degraded Upper Imenti Forest, a critical wet-season habitat for elephants near Mount Kenya. This area has suffered from deforestation over many years, and we are working to reverse this by planting 200,000 native trees to help revive the ecosystem and protect wildlife.
