The ambitious 10-year Mau Forest Complex Conservation plan is underway in Kenya, with pre-launch activities occurring before the official launch on October 24 in Baringo. This comprehensive program, led by the Principal Secretary for Environment and Climate Change Festus Ng’eno, aims to restore the vital forest ecosystem while improving community livelihoods.

• The restoration project across all 22 blocks of the forest will cost Sh21.5 Billion.
• The Mau Forest Complex Integrated Conservation and Livelihood Improvement Programme (MCF-ICLIP) is uniting communities, the private sector, and governments under the call "Linda Mau, Boresha Maisha."
• The inaugural annual Mau Conservation Marathon, featuring 10-kilometre and 21-kilometre races, is raising awareness and mobilizing resources for community-led restoration.
• More than 150,000 tree seedlings have been planted in Eastern Mau over the past seven weeks as part of the initiative.
• Nakuru Governor Susan Kihika pledged to restore 60,000 hectares of degraded forest land by 2030, promoting eco-tourism and agro-forestry.
