@MapekMapek @Lanablanetwork @TheEniggma @geoffreyk77 @Mosesnoah254 @bnyabuti_ke @bennetowuonda @lakeside_newske @karugakevin I would also launch an initiative:
Phase 1: Register farmers with eucs near water sources.
Phase 2: Offer subsidies/free seedlings of bamboo, grevillea, or fruit trees to replace eucs.
Phase 3: Train communities on sustainable markets

@Lanablanetwork @geoffreyk77 @Mosesnoah254 @bennetowuonda @lakeside_newske @_yvie @twokey_ @karugakevin Using community forums, church gatherings, and chief’s barazas to make it relatable. This is an effective method to create awareness.

@geoffreyk77 @Lanablanetwork They try and grow bamboo and fruits tree because it will protect water and soil.
Let's grow our income without dyring our rivers.

@Lanablanetwork @TheEniggma @geoffreyk77 @Mosesnoah254 @bnyabuti_ke @bennetowuonda @lakeside_newske @twokey_ If I could influence one policy, it would be to ban eucalyptus in riparian zones & replace them with eco-friendly trees.

@Lanablanetwork @TheEniggma @geoffreyk77 @Mosesnoah254 @bnyabuti_ke @bennetowuonda @lakeside_newske @twokey_ @karugakevin I would ban planting of eucalyptus trees near riparian areas and wetland and replace them with trees that bring income and environmental benefits.Also introduce fun😊 slogans to raise awareness and inspire actions like *plant smart save water*

@Lanablanetwork @TheEniggma @geoffreyk77 @Mosesnoah254 @bnyabuti_ke @bennetowuonda @lakeside_newske @twokey_ @karugakevin I’d push for enforcement of Kenya Forest Servive Eucalyptus Guidelines. No eucalyptus within 30m of rivers & support farmers with bamboo & native tree seedlings. Education + incentives = healthy rivers & sustainable incomes.

@Lanablanetwork @TheEniggma @geoffreyk77 @Mosesnoah254 @bnyabuti_ke @bennetowuonda @lakeside_newske @twokey_ @karugakevin I would lead community action programmes
1.Eucalyptus replacement initiative;i would work with the community to remove them and plant recommended ones in riparian land.
2.Awareness creation campaign;Educate farmers on Eucalyptus menaces.

@Lanablanetwork @TheEniggma @geoffreyk77 @Mosesnoah254 @bnyabuti_ke @bennetowuonda @lakeside_newske @twokey_ @karugakevin I would enforce a "No eucalyptus along riparian" rule and allow it to be planted in designated areas where it's impact on water is minimal.
I would also promote eco friendly alternatives within the riparian zones such as the fruit trees.

[GEOFFREY @geoffreyk77]

If I could lead 1 action, it’d be to replace eucalyptus near water bodies with bamboo, indigenous, fruit, fodder trees, establish papyrus reeds, practice sustainable farming led by youth & supported by leaders. A movement rooted in community, guided by science and watered by hope

Q7: If you could influence one policy or lead one community action to encourage responsible planting of eucalyptus trees, what would it be?

[GEOFFREY @geoffreyk77]

Counties should develop Riparian and wetlands regulations and implement the Eucalyptus guidelines #EucalyptusAwareness #EcoAlternative @KeForestService @NakuruCountyGov @NyandaruaCG018 @WWF_Kenya @NemaKenya

[GEOFFREY @geoffreyk77]

Pollution and land grabbing are obvious threats—but eucalyptus is the silent one. It looks “green” but drains water tables and harms soil health. Counties must classify it as high-risk in riparian areas. #EucalyptusAwareness #EcoAlternative @KeForestService @NakuruCountyGov

@karugakevin @Lanablanetwork @geoffreyk77 @Mosesnoah254 @WWF_Kenya @NemaKenya @WRA_KEN the issue with eucalyptus is not merely on how massive they're planted but rather how much effect it has to the ecosystem. on water intake, it ranks number one (daily intake) as it can take up to 200 liters of water

Growing up, Zambarau (Syzygium cumini) trees had grown along river Sosiani in Eldoret. They provide shade, fruits & protect soil from erosion unlike eucalyptus which drains water. A natural choice for riparian zones!

@Lanablanetwork @karugakevin @twokey_ @bennetowuonda @bnyabuti_ke @Mosesnoah254 @geoffreyk77 @TheEniggma Bamboo is another excellent option, as it grows rapidly, provides various products, and requires less water once established.

@Lanablanetwork @twokey_ @lakeside_newske @bennetowuonda @bnyabuti_ke @Mosesnoah254 @geoffreyk77 @TheEniggma Eco-friendly fruit tree alternatives to eucalyptus:

🥭 Mango
🥑 Avocado
🌰 Macadamia
🍌 Banana
🍋 Citrus
🍇 Passion
🍏 Guava
🍍 Pawpaw

They give income + nutrition while protecting rivers & wetlands
