The Kenya Government recognizes that the sustainable management and conservation of natural capital and biodiversity is essential for maximizing production of natural resources and sustaining growth. To this end, Kenya drew up the 10-year ambitious and visionary strategy to restore 10.6m hectares of degraded landscapes and ecosystems. The strategy aims to increase the tree cover of the country from the current 12.13 percent to 30 percent by 2032 while restoring degraded landscapes and ecosystems. The Theory of Change (ToC) is grounded on the need to accelerate approaches to address the key drivers of degradation in each of the seven ecosystems to prevent, halt and reverse landscape and ecosystem degradation. Some of the activities to be undertaken to achieve this goal include: growing of 15 billion trees, promoting sustainable agricultural practices, soil and water conservation, sustainable livelihood options, proper land-use planning and proper waste disposal among others.
