The walk across Kiptunga forest was a moment to reconnect with our ancestral land,but also troubling as we found signs of illegal logging & charcoal burning hidden in the forest. As custodians of the forest, the Ogiek community calls on authorities to take action to protect. .
Mau called and we answered. 🌿👣.OPDP staff, together with some members of the Ogiek community, took a day to reconnect with the forest, exploring indigenous trees, learning from nature and strengthening the bond between people and biodiversity. #OPDP #ogiekpeoples #nature #mau
