The preservation and conservation of the environment is critical to the natural wildlife and their habitat in Kenya. In November 2013, the Government of Kenya embarked on a national tree planting project (Sunday Nation, May 25, 2014) as an environmental initiative.
The
national native tree planting initiative will introduce 50 million new trees
around the country from 2014 to 2017 to increase the forest coverage from 5.2%
to 10% by 20130.
The
Kenya Forest Service will provide free tree seedlings for the initiative. The Kenya Scouts network
will support the project through plantings conducted by primary and secondary
school students, officials and community members, while the Scouts Rovers network will support the project in institutions of
higher education, such as universities and colleges.
