Our environmental conservation projects need volunteers to contribute to the rehabilitation, protection, and conservation of the only remaining rainforest and ancient forest in Kenya. We invite individuals and groups from all levels – students, interns, and nature lovers. This forest faces major threats from human encroachment and destruction. Protecting it helps conserve our ecosystem, water catchments, and wildlife while attracting more rainfall. Join this program and benefit Africa's environment, humans, and animals. Kenya prides itself on winning a Nobel Peace Prize for environmental efforts by the Late Professor Wangarĩ Maathai. The work involves conducting environmental education, preparing tree nurseries, planting seedlings, distributing seedlings to the village, maintaining botanical villages, conserving wetland and marine ecosystems, conducting scientific research, and creating documentary journals on ecosystems and eco-friendly technological approaches, among many others.
