Environment ” Projects ” Reforestation Kenya
Stretching along the east coast of Africa, Kenya currently has one of the lowest forest cover percentages of 8% compared to the global average of 30%. In recent decades, human activities have severely damaged the forests. The Eden Reforestation project is successfully working towards reforestation.
This project has a clear goal: to restore a sustainable water supply. But it goes far beyond that. The mission is to protect springs and riverbanks and plant new life to restore the ecosystem to its natural balance. This is not just a question of people, but also of the native wildlife whose habitats are to be restored. At the same time, steep slopes will be stabilized to eliminate the risk of landslides and ensure the safety of the communities. This project is also a promise for the future – a future in which the local population can secure their livelihoods while using natural resources sustainably and in harmony with the environment.
Kenya, nestled in East Africa, is home to a wealth of ecosystems, from vast savannahs to dense forests and picturesque coastal regions. Unfortunately, however, the country is severely affected by environmental degradation. Deforestation, illegal settlements and the expansion of agriculture have caused serious damage. There is an urgent need for reforestation measures.

At the end of 2019, the Eden Reforestation Project began working with the local community, a local forest trust and regional and national government institutions to establish offices, planting areas and nurseries in Kenya. Despite the global pandemic, the team started in March 2020 and planted over 50,000 trees in the first month. Since then, the project has continuously increased the planting rate in various regions and is one of the government’s largest reforestation partners.
