Kimengech Natural Forest is a protected indigenous forest located in Elgeyo Marakwet County, Kenya. It forms part of the complex ecosystem along the Elgeyo escarpment, contributing to water regulation, biodiversity conservation, and community livelihoods through sustainable forest management initiatives. Today, visited the CFA’s tree nursery, where we were inspired by the incredible work being led by women and youth in nurturing new life for the forest. Their dedication is a powerful reminder that restoration is both a community effort and a generational responsibility. We explored ways to strengthen the eco-tourism component within the CFA, through our Forest Whisperers Movement. These engagements continue to shape pathways for deeper connection, sustainable livelihoods, and community-led conservation. WWF-Kenya Nature Kenya KenyaForestService(KFS)
