Our project aims to conserve vulnerable tropical forests by working with subsistence farmers in Kenya to promote sustainable agriculture. Research shows that protecting these forests is essential to preventing irreversible climate breakdown. Since 2007, we’ve helped farmers grow new food and timber crops that enhance biodiversity and reduce pressure on the threatened forests, ensuring long-term sustainability.
