The Mikoko Pamoja project, developed by ACES, shows how a village in Kenya could halt the degradation of the surrounding mangrove forests, taking ownership of the conservation and restoration efforts and transforming the funds from carbon credit sales into visible benefits for the whole community.

BICO works with the communities through capacity-building and reforestation work to restore the Mau Forest complex in Kenya. This is a mountain watershed forest that feeds major rivers and lakes in the region, providing water for millions of people to drink, grow food and generate energy. 25% of the forest have been destroyed in the last 30 years and the impacts on the water supply around the year have become clear and critical.

PIRES Partners is a grassroots initiative from Kenya that aims to increase tree cover in the area around Mount Kenya's ecosystem in both public and private lands. They work with assisted natural regeneration methods, tree planting and promotion of agroforestry next its farmer members.
