Under the theme of “towards concerted national efforts to halt and reverse land degradation, restore degraded ecosystems and sustainably manage land resources”, Kenya’s LDN Target Setting Final Report now available on the UNCCD website, demonstrates the country’s determination to reverse  the adverse effects of desertification, land degradation and drought. In particular, Kenya targets to improve 9% of its  territory by increasing forest cover, net land productivity and/or soil organic carbon in the country’s key forest, shrubs/grassland, wetlands and croplands and rehabilitating all abandoned mining and quarrying areas.
