What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

Kenya launched a national tree planting initiative, aiming to grow 15 billion trees by 2032 and increase forest cover to 30 percent by the same year. President William Ruto led the effort, which includes restoring degraded landscapes and promoting environmentally friendly agriculture, such as distributing cocoa seedlings to farmers. The government also plans to generate revenue from these planting efforts through the international carbon credits market.
