The return of rhinos to Mount Kenya is therefore more than symbolic; it is a testament to Kenya’s resilience, scientific planning, and long‑term commitment to restoring landscapes once emptied of their giants. It signals a conservation trajectory rooted i

These items shed microplastics without our knowledge. They pollute rivers and soils, contaminate food chains, and travel through the air across continents. Recycling offers little relief, because many of these products masquerade as paper or natural fiber

One of the most remarkable adaptations is fog harvesting. It is a simple, sustainable technique that captures moisture directly from the air. Across fog prone landscapes, fine mesh nets stretch like silent guardians.

Plastic takes hundreds, even thousands, of years to degrade. Instead of disappearing, it breaks down into microplastics that never truly vanish. Large animals like whales and turtles ingest plastic debris, leading to blockages, starvation, and internal in

As acidification harms marine ecosystems, the ocean’s ability to absorb and store carbon decreases. More CO₂ stays in the atmosphere, driving climate change. And that, in turn, worsens acidification. The ocean still absorbs massive amounts of CO₂, but the

UN Secretary-General António Guterres declared that the world is entering a “clean energy age.” This evidence was clear as global renewable capacity surged past 4,400 gigawatts, solar power alone grew by more than 450 gigawatts, and, for the first time in

At a recent consultative meeting held at the Nairobi Arboretum, the Cabinet Secretary for Environment, Climate Change and Forestry, Dr. Deborah Barasa, urged timber industry stakeholders to actively contribute to the 15 billion tree growing campaign. She

The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) warns that the current trajectory of biodiversity decline will undermine progress toward 35 of the 44 Sustainable Development Goals — from poverty and hunger to health, water, climate, oceans, and land. Agri

“As the official platform of the 15B Tree Strategy, #JazaMiti provides science-based guidance for landscape restoration, agroforestry, and commercial forestry. It advances our national aspiration of achieving 30% tree cover by 2032, fully aligned with Vis

During his time as Chief Officer for Environment, Mosiria made notable contributions to environmental protection, particularly through strict enforcement and public engagement. He led the implementation of the Nairobi County Air Quality Act of 2021, which

In her feature, Caroline chronicles the renewed flooding crisis in Baringo County, where Lake Baringo’s swelling waters have once again submerged schools, health centers, and homes. The story captures the haunting echoes of 2020’s displacements, but this

Climate change is on the rise and we must move quickly and urgently to save our motherland from the looming disaster. The facts are clear, and it is getting scary; the world is getting warmer, big storms and floods are occurring more often, and many kinds

Morop Tarambas is a conservancy in the truest sense, land voluntarily set aside for wildlife, eco-tourism, sustainable farming, and cultural preservation. Legally recognized under Kenya’s Wildlife Act of 2013, it’s a model of community-led stewardship.

Graced by Kenya’s First Lady Mama Rachel Ruto, the event celebrates young environmental champions from across the country who have shown exceptional creativity and commitment to conservation. It brings together learners, educators, government representati

Imagine yourself standing on a rocky hillside in the midday sun. The air ripples with heat, and a whiff of dust drifts on the breeze. Out of the blue, a bright orange head peeps out from behind a stone. The agama nods, watchful and proud, as if defending

As urban populations grow, the future of wildlife depends on how we choose to coexist. On this World Animal Day, let’s celebrate not just the animals in distant savannahs, but those in our backyards and commit to building cities where all creatures, great

The focus of the program involves transitioning selected schools to biogas energy systems. These installations convert organic waste into clean, renewable energy, reducing dependence on fuelwood and easing pressure on forest resources.

Perhaps their most important role in the face of climate change is their ability to act as powerful carbon sinks. Seagrasses capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere at a quicker pace than tropical rainforests, storing carbon dioxide in their leaves and

During the Africa Climate Summit, religious leaders submitted a Faith Declaration which also called on closing Africa’s adaptation finance gap with grant-based financing. They also called on major emitters to commit to ambitious reductions even as Africa

Glass waste contaminates soil and water, creating a heave carbon boost but through recycling and creative reuse like Max Macharia's art, pollution can be transformed .
