Project launched to improve Maasai Mau
Category: Community, Conservation | Date: Nov 21 2007 | By: admin
The Government of Spain through UNEP has provided financial support towards a project aimed at stopping further deforestation and promoting reforestation within and around the Maasai Mau forest.
The project named COMIFORM (Community based integrated forest resources conservation and management) will work with surrounding communities and Narok County Council, the Trustees of the forest.
The project’s activities will include community tree planting, fuel briquetting, timber production, beekeeping and goat rearing. The activities are meant to provide alternative source of livelihoods to reduce pressure on the forest. The project also aims to have a Carbon-project approved by a carbon fund, facilitate tourism development and to have a management plan for the forest in place.
It is being implemented by Kenya Forests Working Group, Green Belt Movement, Ewaso Nyiro South Development Authority, the Narok County Council, Kenya Forest Service and local Community Based Organizations.
