The logging ban imposed by the Kenyan government was designed to prevent unsustainable harvesting in plantations. Ultimately the ban had negative consequences on Kenya’s gazetted forest plantations. To tackle some present challenges, Kenya Forest Service (KFS) is educating local communities on the importance of the plantations and how they can reap the benefits from them. Better Globe Forestry also works to educate local communities on the benefits of tree plantations, as well as teach younger generations how to preserve the environment through programs such as the School’s Green Initiative Challenge.
