Forests play the biggest role in our struggle against global warming and cutting on carbon emissions. At the heart of Conservation of forests are indigenous communities.

@Environment_Ke @UNDPKenya @UNDP @KBCChannel1 @KenyaNewsAgency @PeopleDailyKe @TheStarKenya @StandardKenya @yvonnenyokabi @mmashologu1 @R_Kibugi @Envirinment_Kenya IPs have come a long way pushing for our meaningful participation in these processes. ABS is a huge discussion to leave any stakeholder out in whichever manner. @UNDPKenya what happened to adherence to the UN guidelines?

[Ministry of Environment, Climate Change & Forestry @Environment_Ke]

Happening now! The Ministry of Environment and Forestry with support from @UNDPKenya has organized a stakeholder consultation workshop in Naivasha to deliberate on the National Benefit Sharing Mechanism for REDD+ in Kenya...

RRI coalition member and Sengwer leader @MillyChepkorir tells a packed audience at #APAC2022:

"To say that traditional, militarized conservation is in the past is a lie. As I speak it is happening to my brothers and sisters. But today at APAC, we hope this will and can change."

[Centre for Minority Rights Development (CEMIRIDE) @CEMIRIDE_KE]

Mental health for all professionals is important. Glad that my friend @MrMuraya is talking about this for journalists.
#MentalHealth

[Joseph Muraya @MrMuraya]

We had a candid discussion on the mental health of journalists during the COVID-19 pandemic at the #EastFest21. My challenge to journalists in Kenya and the region was to invest in mental wellness as a matter of priority as we push decision-makers to do their part. #IamCJAK

[Geoffrey Kerosi @gkerosi]

I condemn the recent burning of 50 houses at Maron in Embobut forest area. This has negatively affected the Sengwer ethnic minority of Kenya. @CollinsLiko @olando_ouko

#Istandwiththeogiek it is sad what forest indigenous communities are going through in this country

[Daniel Kobei @kobskobei]

#Istandwiththeogiek Its always sad to report the trauma facing the Ogiek over series of evictions, on 8th July 2020 over 300 Ogiek were evicted in Mariashooni of East Mau with total disregard of Ogiek African Court ruling of 2017 in their favour and Covid19 Moratorium.

As we mark this day and celebrate this report; at @naturaljustice we firmly believe that an integrated and inclusive approach to conservation is the best way forward. The world is moving towards this type of model. #IStandWithTheOgiek

[Ogiek Peoples' Dev. Program (OPDP) @OgiekPeoples]

Implementation of @court_afchpr ruling on Ogiek is going to guarantee their livelihood and self determinations
