🔧🐘 Our fencing team is back on the Mt Kenya frontlines—repairing wildlife-damaged gates & fenceline to protect forests, farms & communities.

Every fix matters in the fight against human-wildlife conflict.

Protecting Mt. Kenya needs strong, strategic partnerships—just as SDG 17 urges.

At MKT, we work with @KWSKenya, @KeForestService, @RhinoArk, @MOH_Kenya & local farms to tackle key issues like human-elephant conflict & water security.

We helped destroy 2 acres of illegal cannabis and seize 0.5kg of seeds in a government-led crackdown.

These hidden farms often use fire to clear land—fueling Mt Kenya’s wildfires.

♀️ We’re creating safe spaces for over 2,000 students to openly discuss adolescence, hygiene, healthy relationships & GBV awareness.

Education = empowerment. Informed youth = stronger communities.

Last month, our forest monitoring teams patrolled 28,497 hectares of the Mount Kenya ecosystem — tracking illegal activity & protecting biodiversity. Their dedication is key to safeguarding this vital water tower.

Our community nurseries are more than seedbeds; they're engines of restoration. 🌿

With water pans + tanks from partners, we’re growing 100K+ seedlings, reaching new markets & boosting local incomes; even in dry months.

In rural Embu, access to healthcare is often a long, costly journey.

Together with @chaseafricaphe, @MOH_Kenya & our Community Health Promoters, we brought care closer—offering #CancerScreenings, curative services & #FamilyPlanning support. 💚🌍

#ClimateAction #Agroforestry #Reforestation

[Mount Kenya Trust @mountkenyatrust]

🌱 At the heart of our reforestation work is our indigenous #TreeNursery — where seedlings grow, communities thrive & future forests take root. 🌳💚

From Mt Kenya restoration to school visits, it's more than a nursery — it’s a movement.

#TreePlanting #ClimateAction

[Mount Kenya Trust @mountkenyatrust]

Over the past 2 months, we've supported communities in Tharaka Nithi & Meru with:

✅ Curative Care
✅ Family Planning
✅ Cancer Screenings

Because healthy people = stronger conservation.
You can’t care for nature if you’re unwell. 🌿🌍

#CancerAwareness

[Mount Kenya Trust @mountkenyatrust]

🌍 This #WorldEnvironmentDay, we join the call to #BeatPlasticPollution.

From forest rivers to mountain trails, plastic is threatening our future. Together, we can turn the tide.

💧 Refuse. Reduce. Reuse. Recycle.
🌱 Choose better. Act now.

#PlasticFree #SayNoToPlastic

[Mount Kenya Trust @mountkenyatrust]

🌧️ As rains return, we’ve planted 31,750 indigenous trees—27,200 from community nurseries 🌱 Supporting livelihoods & restoring biodiversity.

Elephant intrusions remain a challenge, but joint efforts with @KeForestService, @KWSKenya & CFAs are paving the way forward.

[Mount Kenya Trust @mountkenyatrust]

After a year-long pause, the Imenti community is back to planting trees! 🌱💚

31,750 indigenous seedlings planted, 80% from local nurseries — restoring nature and livelihoods.

Support the comeback. 🌍✨
