The best and most effective way we can contribute to Nature is helping in Conservation Efforts, being the voice; teaching, training and putting the little we can in action to protect our environment.

[WRI Ross Center for Sustainable Cities @WRIRossCities]

Once a month, #AddisAbaba’s residents reclaim city streets for #CarFreeDay, becoming a role model for the region. Streets can be more than just a medium to move cars – they can be a place for #people, too. https://t.co/faNc71hUI4

With our busy Nairobi its only wise to help conserve the remnant forests in the Capital, the trees play a very important role to improve air quality

[Metro Trees @TreesMetro]

Urban forests in places like City Park, Karura and Arboretum have a role to play in recovering our forest cover. Let's also prioritize them. @MikeSonko @nbiarboretum @cityparkfriends @karurafriends

[NAIROBI ARBORETUM @nbiarboretum]

You feel nostalgic. You remember that bees are dying rapidly.

Take a walk on the wild side this weekend in @nbiarboretum #LoveNature #UrbanForests @CCF_Kenya @karurafriends @cityparkfriends @natureforall

[NAIROBI ARBORETUM @nbiarboretum]

Basically we need to do more to protect and grow our urban forest so that #Nairobi can be 'the green city in the sun' again. @MikeSonko @Environment_Ke @NairobiPlanning @reimaginingnai @Naipolitans @NairobiCityGov

[NAIROBI ARBORETUM @nbiarboretum]

Do the #Nairobi city planning and environment depts have policies around billboards and street trees? Seems like our trees always lose out to signs peddling stuff when really our urban forest is an invaluable asset. @MikeSonko @Nanjala1 @NgwenoA @Nature_Kenya #UrbanForests

[NAIROBI ARBORETUM @nbiarboretum]

Even when the street trees are not chopped down by companies like @MagnateVentures they are pruned so brutally removing most of the leafy canopy which is essential for many benefits incl. pollutant removal and carbon absorption. @KeNHAKenya @KeForestService @EstherPassaris
