Environment, Climate Change and Forestry CS Deborah Barasa has spearheaded a tree planting exercise in West Pokot County.
During the function at Lomukee forest in Pokot South Sub County, Barasa pledged to work towards the government's goal of planting 15 billion trees by 2032.
The CS underscored the importance of coming up with innovative strategies to address climate change challenges and highlighted that the success of tree planting relies on ongoing care and attention after planting.
She also urged households, schools, and community leaders to take an active role in conservation efforts, asserting that there is a significant difference between merely planting a tree and nurturing it to grow.
