Kenya’s ecological diversity ranges from lowland and mountain forests to wooded and open grasslands, semi-arid scrubland, dry woodlands, inland aquatic and coastal and marine ecosystems. The country is taking strategic actions to address threats and promote sustainable utilization of biodiversity.
- In May 2019, the Ministry of Environment and Forestry in Kenya hosted the Anglophone Africa Regional Trialogue in Nairobi to raise awareness of the key messages of the two interlinked IPBES Thematic Assessment Reports on Pollinators, Pollination and Food Production and Land Degradation and Restoration.
- The country has received support from BES-Net to contribute to national efforts addressing land degradation through agroforestry practices that utilize pollinator-friendly crops and promote land restoration.
- Under BES-Net II, Kenya is receiving catalytic support through the BES Solution Fund to implement key priority actions identified during the Trialogue.
- The engagement of local communities, including the Indigenous Ogiek People and youth, is pivotal in these efforts, fostering active knowledge exchange and collaboration.
