Strengthening traditional Governance in Kiambu, Kenya
With the loss of respect for elders and the disappearance of indigenous tree biodiversity, there is now a threat to the ecological balance and the loss of traditional health practices in this area of Kenya. This also affects the food security of the local communities.
Restore is funding ICE to work on a programme to uphold inter-generational learning and benefit from the reforestable communal land available.

We do not have the moral right to destroy this wonder of the natural world. We are at the very last tick of the clock. We have to take this opportunity and if we do not do something to protect these forests we have betrayed the generations that come after us.
