Mount Kenya Trust

🔧🐘 Our fencing team is back on the Mt Kenya frontlines—repairing wildlife-damaged gates & fenceline to protect forests, farms & communities. Every fix matters in the fight against human-wildlife conflict. #HumanElephantConflict #ConservationInAction #MtKenya

Protecting Mt. Kenya needs strong, strategic partnerships—just as SDG 17 urges. At MKT, we work with @KWSKenya, @KeForestService, @RhinoArk, @MOH_Kenya & local farms to tackle key issues like human-elephant conflict & water security. #SDG17 #MKT_Partnerships #MountKenyaTrust

We helped destroy 2 acres of illegal cannabis and seize 0.5kg of seeds in a government-led crackdown. These hidden farms often use fire to clear land—fueling Mt Kenya’s wildfires. #WildfirePrevention #ForestProtection

♀️ We’re creating safe spaces for over 2,000 students to openly discuss adolescence, hygiene, healthy relationships & GBV awareness. Education = empowerment. Informed youth = stronger communities. #ASRH #TeenHealth #YouthForChange

Last month, our forest monitoring teams patrolled 28,497 hectares of the Mount Kenya ecosystem — tracking illegal activity & protecting biodiversity. Their dedication is key to safeguarding this vital water tower. #MKT_Operations #ForestMonitoring #ConservationInAction

Our community nurseries are more than seedbeds; they're engines of restoration. 🌿 With water pans + tanks from partners, we’re growing 100K+ seedlings, reaching new markets & boosting local incomes; even in dry months. #TreePlanting #MountKenyaTrust #Agroforestry

In rural Embu, access to healthcare is often a long, costly journey. Together with @chaseafricaphe, @MOH_Kenya & our Community Health Promoters, we brought care closer—offering #CancerScreenings, curative services & #FamilyPlanning support. 💚🌍

Over the past 2 months, we've supported communities in Tharaka Nithi & Meru with: ✅ Curative Care ✅ Family Planning ✅ Cancer Screenings Because healthy people = stronger conservation. You can’t care for nature if you’re unwell. 🌿🌍 #CancerAwareness

🌍 This #WorldEnvironmentDay, we join the call to #BeatPlasticPollution. From forest rivers to mountain trails, plastic is threatening our future. Together, we can turn the tide. 💧 Refuse. Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. 🌱 Choose better. Act now. #PlasticFree #SayNoToPlastic

🌧️ As rains return, we’ve planted 31,750 indigenous trees—27,200 from community nurseries 🌱 Supporting livelihoods & restoring biodiversity. Elephant intrusions remain a challenge, but joint efforts with @KeForestService, @KWSKenya & CFAs are paving the way forward.

After a year-long pause, the Imenti community is back to planting trees! 🌱💚 31,750 indigenous seedlings planted, 80% from local nurseries — restoring nature and livelihoods. Support the comeback. 🌍✨ #TreePlanting #MountKenya #ForestRestoration #CommunityConservation
