Increasing Forest Cover

A primary objective of the SLDMP is to enhance and preserve Mt. Kenya Landscape forest and tree cover by growing 5.8 million trees by 2029.

The Mount Kenya region, a vital water tower and ecological stronghold, faces urgent threats from climate change, deforestation, and unsustainable land use. The Mount Kenya Landscape Management Board (LMB) is addressing these critical challenges through a collaborative, holistic approach.

We unite communities, government, and partners to implement solutions that span forest restoration, climate-smart agriculture, and sustainable water management. Our work empowers local livelihoods, enhances biodiversity, and builds resilience against environmental pressures. We're dedicated to securing a vibrant, sustainable future for both the Mount Kenya ecosystem and the communities who call it home.
