We are at Kenyatta High School, Mwatate, marking World Desertification Day 2025 themed “Restore the Land. Unlock the Opportunities.”Visit the KEFRI stand to explore innovative forestry research and land restoration solutions

[NEMA Kenya @NemaKenya]

We have the power to bring land back to life - A restored land is a land of endless opportunities. It’s time to unlock them now.

This year’s Desertification and Drought Day focuses on one of the most urgent global challenges: restoring 1.5 billion hectares of degraded land and jumpstarting a trillion-dollar land restoration economy by 2030.

Under the theme "Restore the land. Unlock the opportunities," the 2025 observance shines a light on how restoring nature’s foundation—land—can create jobs, boost food and water security, support climate action and build economic resilience.

In Kenya, the national commemorations will be held at Kenyatta High School, Mwatate, Taita Taveta County.
