The project will plant 500,000 trees to protect and conserve Bunyala Forest in Western Kenya that has high insect diversity, numerous birds and butterfly species and watershed of several rivers. As we protect and conserve the forest, we shall provide education to the community to take care of the unique biodiversity and water resources.
Deforestation and pressure on the forest land from the neighboring communities resulted in clearing of the natural vegetation on large parts of the forest and replanting of exotic commercial trees. A section of the forest land is degraded and does not have any trees as well as river catchments are unprotected from human activities.
ACDT plans to plant 500,000 trees in the forest to restore and conserve Bunyala Forest for for the benefit of its unique biodiversity and water resources, awareness creation among the local communities who neighbor the forest on the importance of protection, and protect water catchments from human activities. We shall fence section that has been planted with trees.
The project will restore Bunyala Forest as a sustainable home for primates including monkeys, butterflies , moths, bees and dragonflies, a home for various birds species including Hornbill, an important watershed as well as a rich zone for tourism activities including forest walks, primate and bird watching. We shall have a conserved environment with less climatic disasters.
