Trees for Kenya
Kenya is on the verge of a national catastrophe because ninety-eight percent of the original ancient forest has been decimated due to over-logging and poaching. The loss of green has had a detrimental effect on the environment. Water levels in lakes and streams are dropping and the Sahara Desert is encroaching at a rate of twenty to twenty-five miles a year. Presently there is a moratorium on logging and stricter enforcement of poachers. There is also an increased effort to educate the Kenyan populace about the ecological ramifications of deforestation.
In response to this crisis, the Presbyterian University staff and students in Kikuyu, Kenya, have begun planting trees. We wish to expand on their idea and therefore are offering trees for Kenya.
