The Kenya Forest Service has launched an innovative Timber Tracker System (TTS) to combat illegal logging and timber trade across the nation.

• The system will track timber traders, species, quantities, and product movements from source to destination.
• Key stakeholders include the Kenya Forest Service (KFS) and the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL).
• This initiative follows a recent announcement by KFS regarding the planned harvesting of mature trees in specific government forests in Machakos County.
