The Kenyan government, through the Principal Secretary for Irrigation Ephantus Kimotho, has launched an ambitious plan to restore and conserve Oloolua Forest. This initiative, dubbed the “six C’s of conservation,” aims to involve local communities as central partners.

• The plan includes conservation measures like electronic fencing and large-scale restoration, alongside community livelihood support, with partners committing to fund the initial phase.
• Key figures include Principal Secretary Ephantus Kimotho and Environment and Climate Change Principal Secretary Festus Ngeno.
• Notable interventions to support local communities and the environment include the establishment of tree nurseries, provision of beehives, distribution of avocado seedlings, and the formation of climate clubs in schools.
