Last saturday, we joined fellow conservationists from across Kenya in Kakamega Forest to mark Indigenous Tree Day—an initiative dedicated to combating biodiversity loss and restoring our forests’ natural heritage. The event was convened by Kenya Horticultural Society.

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 decision to clear forest land within Nairobi National Park is not just unfortunate , it is a direct threat to our natural heritage. We cannot normalize the gradual erosion of protected areas under the guise of development. #ProtectNairobiNationalPark #SaveOurForests
Green Belt Movement@GreenBeltMovmnt

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

Prof. Wangari Maathai. A visionary who turned small actions into a global movement. Prof. Wangari Maathai showed us that courage and purpose can restore not just the environment, but hope for generations. She gave so we could gain. #OnYourSide #GivetoGain

Wangari Maathai once said, "We are very fond of blaming the poor for destroying the environment. But often it is the powerful, including governments, that are responsible." ,We shall stand up , defend Karura Forest and defend the legacy.
Green Belt Movement@GreenBeltMovmnt

"You cannot plant 15 billion trees with one hand and fell Karura with the other." @MathaiWanjira calls out unauthorized construction in Karura Forest ,a contradiction to Kenya’s climate leadership. Protect our forests. #TeamGBM 🌳

Youth need spaces where they can speak openly about issues, innovate, and meaningfully engage with ideas that shape their future. Our Youth Hub is providing that space for youth in Kakamega — a place where we talk, learn, laugh, and grow together. #WangariMaathai @FranceinKenya

the excitement from the learners is truly inspiring. Their curiosity, their questions, and their eagerness to be part of setting up the tree nurseries shows just how ready they are to lead the change.

🌳 “Trees are the seeds of peace and seeds of hope” – this profound statement by Wangari Maathai rings true as we celebrate her today, marking Wangari Maathai Day. 🇫🇷 works together with the @WangariMaathai foundation on key programs to ensure her legacy endures by cultivating a culture of self-development and collective action, and by promoting youthful leadership. To restore and protect the Kakamega Forest 🌱🌱, the last remnant of Kenya’s Guineo-Congolian rainforest, France, alongside other partners, is integrating biodiversity conservation through the ‘cooperation on forest preservation in Kenya’ framework by engaging local communities, youth groups, schools, and policymakers to be agents of change. Last month, we participated in the launch of the “Iplant trees” campaign targeting schools in Kakamega and the launch of a Youth-hub that mentors students to become environmental stewards. @MathaiWanjira @icipe @Cirad

Solidarity is not always loud — sometimes it is simply sitting beside each other and saying, “I see you. I’m with you."Our power is not only in our voices but also in our unwavering support for one another. Rising in love. 💛#RootedInSisterhood @NobelWomen @GreenBeltMovmnt
