Environmental groups have taken the government to court over recent amendments to Kenya's forest law, warning that the changes could weaken protections for public forests and accelerate habitat fragmentation. The case could have far-reaching implications for conservation, climate resilience, and future infrastructure projects in protected forest ecosystems.

Conservationists are calling for the suspension of a proposed airstrip in Meru's Upper Imenti Forest, warning it could disrupt elephant migration routes, threaten critical wildlife habitats, and undermine decades of conservation efforts in one of Kenya's most important biodiversity hotspots.
