The second Learning Event webinar featured engaging and insightful presentations from five organisations involved in delivering the GCBC funded project; Understanding Cherangany links to human wellbeing and was held on 12 November 2024.

This forest landscape and restoration project is an example of a Kenya led interdisciplinary partnership which has come together to understand how natural forest resources can be used and managed sustainably for human wellbeing. The aim is to promote positive long-term impacts for biodiversity, poverty alleviation and ecosystem resilience to climate change in Kenya’s Cherangany forest landscape.

The following speakers joined us to share a summary of the project, early results, and why work like this is essential:

James Mutunga Joshua, Nature Kenya
Dr Paul Muoria, Kenyatta University
Dr Ronald Mulwa, National Museums of Kenya,
Dr Musingo Mbuvi, Kenya Forestry Research Institute
Dr James Mwangombe, Kenya Forest Service
Mr Solomon Cherongos, a representative from the Cherangany community.

The presentations were followed by a Q&A, providing speakers with opportunities to expand upon their themes.

The recording of the webinar is available here for those who were unable to attend the live event.

The second of the GCBC’s Learning Events for 2024 provides an opportunity to find out about the GCBC funded project:

Understanding Cherangany Links to Human Wellbeing

This forest landscape and restoration project is an example of a Global South led interdisciplinary partnership which has come together to understand how natural forest resources can be used and managed sustainably for human wellbeing. The aim is to promote positive long-term impacts for biodiversity, poverty alleviation and ecosystem resilience to climate change in Kenya’s Cherangany forest landscape.

The project partners include Nature Kenya, National Museums of Kenya, Kenya Forestry Research Institute, Kenyatta University, the Kenya Forest Service and Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities.

We will be talking to Nature Kenya and their partners about the project and the importance of equitable partnerships, followed by a Q&A.

Register to join the webinar to hear more about the project’s ecosystem services assessment, restoration opportunity assessment and mapping (ROAM) of the Cherangany forest landscape. The project aims to collect new evidence to inform the Cherangany Forest Restoration business case for future funding, an Ecosystem Based Adaptation Strategy and action plan, and multiple Participatory Forest Management Plans implemented by community forest associations.
