Aerial Seeding of Mau Forest
Mau Forest, which is Kenya's largest indigenous forest and a crucial water catchment that feeds rivers flowing into Lake Victoria, supports Agriculture, and sustains biodiversity. Mau Forest was under threat of Agricultural encroachment, illegal logging, and deforestation. To restore it, Senator Ledama ole Kina, in collaboration with KEFRI and Seedballs Kenya, dispersed 20 million indigenous tree seeds through aerial seeding. Transmara Sugar Company also donated 10,000 seedlings. Restoration of Mau Forest is a collective responsibility, and hence, multi-sector collaboration is inevitable.
