About this Project
Background
In 1963 forests covered 10% of Kenya, today that number is only 6%. High rates of deforestation have reduced rainwater for local communities, lead to increased flooding and raised temperatures.
Outcome
In partnership with Eden Reforestation Projects, Furthr is planting trees across two distinct regions of Kenya: the Great Rift Valley and the Northern Coast. Within the Great Rift Valley, we are planting afromontane within the Kijabe forest, and along the Northern Coast, we are planting mangrove and coastal forest tree species.
