Restoration and Sustainable Management of Cherangany Forest Ecosystems for Climate Change Resilience

About this project

With this project AICS intends to contribute to the Tree Growing Fund through financial support to the National Environmental Trust Fund (NETFUND), the financial agency of the Ministry of the Environment and Forests, with the aim of accelerating the achievement of 10% national forest cover in Kenya, and to promote strategies capable of responding adequately to climate change.
