The first batch of over 2000 indigenous trees from our rescue hub went to Mesipei comprehensive school who closed the school in style.
We should all strive to inculcate the culture of conservation among the school kids.

That's why environmental #HumanRightsDefender @LMindore & @ProgramOgiek joined @GreengrantsFund to lead a climate awareness campaign for Ogiek youth in the Mau forest.⬇️

[Senate Foreign Relations Committee @SFRCdems]

In a landmark decision, the African Court on Human and People’s Rights ruled in favor of the Ogiek people.

Despite the @achpr_cadhp's ruling, the Kenyan government has illegally forced the Ogieks from their home.

The Ogiek people rely on the land to provide for them & in return they promise to take care of the land.

“No one cares about the health of the Mau Forest more than the Ogiek,” said @LMindore.

The fates of the forest & the Ogiek people are deeply intertwined.

#ClimateJustice

[Senate Foreign Relations Committee @SFRCdems]

The Ogiek people are indigenous to the Mau forest.

For years they've faced harassment & violence at the hands of the Kenyan government.

@LMindore founded @ProgramOgiek to fight for the rights of the Ogiek people & protect the land they call home.
