The government has made tremendous progress towards the target to grow at least 15 billion trees by 2032 under the National tree growing restoration campaign.
The Campaign is aimed at reducing greenhouse emissions, stopping and reversing deforestation and restoring about 5.1million hectares of deforested and degraded landscapes through the African Landscape Restoration Initiative.
By Tuesday 8th April 2025, the government, with collective efforts from individual Kenyans, corporates, the private sector and agencies had planted 783 million trees.
The Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Environment, Climate Change and Forestry Deborah Barasa said that the private sector has played a critical role in supporting smallholder farmers to participate in the tree growing campaign.
