Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has urged the international community to intensify efforts to restore degraded rangelands and strengthen ecosystem resilience, warning that livelihoods, food security, and environmental stability are increasingly under threat from land degradation.
Speaking during the Global Observance of Desertification and Drought Day in Vipingo, Kilifi County, Kindiki said Kenya remains committed to large-scale ecosystem restoration initiatives, including the ambitious target of planting 15 billion trees by 2032 to counter drought, desertification, and environmental degradation.
“We must recognize the magnitude of the challenge before us and the duty the present generation owes not to ourselves, but to future generations,” he said.
