10% of Kenya’s native trees face extinction. Critical species are on the brink, threatening ecosystems, wildlife and people alike. But by cultivating these species in community tree nurseries and planting them in forests we can undo the damage before Kenya’s irreplaceable trees are lost forever.

Forests that are rich in diversity are healthier and more resilient. Losing even a single tree species can trigger a dangerous chain reaction of ecosystem collapse: forests are more vulnerable to fire and disease, habitats shrink, countless wildlife and microorganisms are pushed to extinction and tree dependent communities are plunged into crisis. Once a species is extinct, it’s lost forever. We must act now to conserve and protect threatened trees and to safeguard the future of Kenya’s forests.
Trees are the lifeblood of our planet. When forests thrive, so do ecosystems and communities. Through hands-on training, we’re equipping people to identify and monitor threatened species, grow their seeds in community tree nurseries and plant them in reforestation projects. And we’re working with communities to conserve and protect the future of these forests. Together we can ensure that none of Kenya’s precious trees go extinct while growing healthy, resilient forests for the next generation.
