Watch the second GCBC learning event: Spotlight on forest landscape restoration in Kenya
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.
