Kenya Emerge a Rare Success Story in Fight Against Deforestation

Kenya has recorded a rare environmental victory, gaining 173,000 hectares of forest since 1990 — a stark contrast to regional trends of massive deforestation. According to FAO’s Global Forest Resources Assessment 2025, Kenya’s forest cover now spans 3.9 million hectares, thanks to reforestation, community conservation, and ambitious national policies like Vision 2030 and the 10% tree cover goal. As Africa continues to lose millions of hectares to farming and charcoal, Kenya’s steady green recovery offers a model for resilience and climate action.
