Forest Conservation

My name is Vivian Khasavuli,I stay in Kakamega,a district in Western province.I happen to live near the Kakamega Forest from my childhood days.My land people have really destroyed the forest.In a bid to encroach the forest for settlement and also extracting timer.This has seen a lot of deforestation taking place hence  degrading the natural eco-system.However,an organisation named greenbelt movement after identifying the problem has been on the move to protect the forest.They have educated the community on the need of protecting and conserving the forest.They also have been holding afforestation programmes aimed at replacing the trees that have been cut down.The move has thus been positive.
