The Green Belt Movement, in collaboration with the Conservation Alliance of Kenya, commemorated the legacy of the late Professor Wangari Maathai, in an event at the Green Belt Movement offices.
In the event focused on environmental conservation in respect to the late Nobel Laureate and environmental activist, the organisations called for urgent measures to curb deforestation and safeguard Kenya's forests, emphasizing the need for stronger conservation efforts amid rising environmental threats.
The environmental groups highlighted the consequences of unchecked deforestation, pointing to worsening air quality, threats to biodiversity, and risks to water security.
Despite existing policies, they noted, poor governance and environmental mismanagement continue to endanger Kenya's natural resources.
