Drylands are not wastelands. These areas provide a wide range of important benefits to society, including cultural identity, and habitat. Research and field trials demonstrate that #drylands can yield high returns. Let’s not waste them.
Did you know that the forestry sector contributes 3.6% of the national GDP and 70% of the national energy requirements is met from wood fuel (firewood and charcoal)? #PandaMitiBoreshaMaisha
@Komaza at #OnePlanetSummit... alongside Kenya’s Conservation secretary, Secretary of State to France’s ministry of ecology, CEO of Global Environment Facility, and Director Generals of @IUCN & @ICRAF. Great job @tcard! 👩🏿🌾🌿🌍
Frank Mars of @MarsGlobal at #IFCagribusiness shared an inspiring vision for how a massive private company can help build a #sustainable future in a rapidly warming world. Also, never drink almond milk - its embodied water is an environmental crime.
Our latest community project was building a toilet for the local beach where the Musafir has been moored. In partnership with @komaza this toilet is now operational and keeping our environment cleaner!... https://t.co/g2JOdN063f
Thanks for the shoutout @Lever! Our team is working hard to recruit more great colleagues, and we’re all loving the recent switch to your platform ;-) https://t.co/4vdET0ScWP
#Thinklandscape: A new study released by @restoreforward found that #forest and #land degradation is estimated to cost the world more than US$6.3 trillion a year. More at: https://t.co/aLs4wslsCv
Beware plantations seeking investment from average people on the street, promising great returns. If legit, these projects could raise big money from global institutional investors who understand the industry, risks, governance, etc. Hoaxes hurt people and the sector - call BS.
We too have noticed flexibility is key for building a successful career at Komaza. Growth-stage startups are fun, but sometimes frenetic. She who can dance never steps on the stones. https://t.co/rSFBIWNTVY
Don’t lower the bar - the emergence of African unicorns is not far off! Their success will transform future capital markets, accelerating VC-fueled innovation & growth for the continent. https://t.co/O3uYmlFxZ4
"In the face of a #changing climate and related mass migration and social instability, international experts are now viewing #forests and tree rich environments as a key way of attacking these issues at the root." via @GlobalLF https://t.co/bBPm4tgobP
Our home county of Kilifi just outlawed #charcoal trading. We applaud the bold intent to curb #deforestation! Enforcement details are scarce; presumably charcoal from #sustainable forestry is still allowed & encouraged? A million people still need to cook. https://t.co/deejf5ETEl
Congrats @climatefinlab! Huge milestone. We’re excited to have kicked off working with you, and we look forward to contributing to your $2 billion #sustainable#investment milestone ;-) https://t.co/66vnLxNpdT
We're proud to share that the Lab reached a big milestone this week. The 25 instruments launched since our start in 2014 have now raised over $1 billion in sustainable investment! https://t.co/lq1q0SS5id #impinv#climatefinance
#Kenya banned logging Gov & community #forests for 90 days to assess severe degradation of vital water catchments. Beyond protecting forests, Kenya needs demand-side solution: let’s grow #sustainable wood by private sector & small farmers! https://t.co/WFWiEMrYpV
