The Principal Secretary for Cooperatives, Mr.
Patrick Kilemi, on Friday noted that it is high time for cooperative societies to prioritize and support tree planting initiatives.
Kilemi observed that the cooperative movement in the country has a large membership, and their involvement in tree planting would have a significant impact on environmental conservation, thus contributing to efforts to mitigate climate change.
He singled out farmers' cooperative societies, which he said rely on increased productivity from a well-conserved environment and adequate rainfall.
