Kenya

7%​


With only 7% of the country having tree cover, Kenya is the least forested country in Africa. That works out as 67 trees per person rather than a global average of 420.

Deforestation in Africa Kenya
​
​Kenya suffered severe deforestation from the 1960s to the 1990s, mainly from various illegal activities such as unlicensed timber harvesting and charcoal production. After the perpetrators were removed by the Kenya Forest Service, the degraded lands never regenerated.

JUST ONE Tree has joined forces with our reforestation partner, the ITF  (International Tree Foundation), as part of a “20 Million Trees for Kenya’s Forests” initiative, planting trees in and around Kenya's highland forests. 

This large project run by ITF  and spearheaded by MKT (Mount Kenya Trust) and other local partners, is in itself part of a wider strategy ​by ​the Kenyan Government to increase forest cover, restore degraded land, protect habitats and tackle climate change.
