UHURU & CENTRAL PARK UNDER THREAT AGAIN! Reports indicate plans to take parts of these public parks for Uhuru Highway expansion. Survey beacons are already on site. Kenyans deserve answers. Once public land is lost, it is rarely recovered. #HandsOffUhuruPark #HandsOffCentralPark

In our latest article @TheStarKenya, @CarolineGiathi, explores why protecting forests is not optional, but essential for our environmental future, water security, and constitutional responsibility. Read the full article here: the-star.co.ke/opinion/star-b… #TeamGBM

🚨 Kenya’s forests are under attack. A proposed amendment to Section 56 of FCM Act will allow roads and utilities through public forests. With 10 ha of Ngong Road Forest already targeted, this threat is real. Tell your Senator to reject & #VoteNOSection56(2). #HandsOffOurForests

Today, we celebrate Wangari Maathai. She taught us that protecting nature is about more than just trees it’s about dignity and justice. Let’s be the hummingbird today by doing what we can, with what we have, where we are. 🌍 #TeamGBM

The current plan to destroy Nairobi National Park for a parking space is not development but a loss. Protected areas are our life-support systems. We call for the halting of clearing and protection of our park as once it is gone, it is gone forever. #ProtectNairobiNationalPark

In January 2012, the African Union (AU), The African Union @_AfricanUnion adopted a decision calling for the joint commemoration of Africa Environment Day and Wangari Maathai Day in recognition of the work and life of the late Professor Wangari Maathai. Prof. Wangari dedicated her life to promoting #environmental #conservation and sustainable development in Africa and the first African Woman to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Every March 3, We commemorate the #WangariMaathaiDay #AfricaEnvironmentDay @UoNWMI @UNEP @Greenpeace @GreenBeltMovmnt @HeartsOfGreen #WangariMaathaiLegacy

Karura Forest is facing barracks construction. Ngong Road Forest is threatened by a luxury hotel & plans to carve out 10 acres for a road. Our public forests are not for sale. Stand with us & defend what belongs to all of us. Support now greenbeltmovement.org/donate/ #HandsOffKarura

Torn on who to trust between us and the @KeForestService over trees cut for barracks in Karura Forest? Watch journalist @Ian_Wafula’s expose video and decide. Karura Forest is ours. If we stay silent, we lose it. Stand with us: greenbeltmovement.org/donate/ #HandsOffKaruraForest

Karura Forest is a public asset that must be protected through transparency, legality and public participation. We oppose the ongoing barracks development and call on @KeForestService to immediately halt the works and subject the project to full public scrutiny. #SaveKarura

Sadly, these situations continue to worsen as new and more sophisticated AI tools emerge, enabling the creation of deepfakes, targeted harassment, & gendered disinformation at an alarming scale. There is an urgent need for stronger protections, accountability & collective action.

Women journalists are facing rising AI-facilitated violence, from deepfakes to online harassment. A UNESCO–ICFJ study reveals many are forced to self-censor or withdraw from public spaces. As AI tools advance, so must our fight to #EndImpunity & protect #PressFreedom #IDEI2025KE

"We are pleased, once again, to co-host this important commemoration of the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes Against Journalists, together with the @MediaCouncilK.
