TREE PLANTING

The Green Belt Movement is an organization mainly concerned about planting trees all over Kenya so as to increase the forest cover that has been destroyed over the years due to human activities like deforestation so as to clear land for settlement.
They told us that 20 years ago, almost half of Kenya was covered in green which accounts for like 40 % of the total land and due to human activities, we are now having 3% forest cover which is the leading cause of soil erosion and global warming.
The movement tries to plant at least 50 trees a day and have managed to do so. they also have helped in rehabilitating dying forests and game reserves. They have a charitable organization and they go all over cities and towns teaching citizens on the importance of planting trees and how they directly and indirectly affect us.
