Ruto Renews Push for 15 Billion Trees by 2030

President William Ruto has renewed his push for Kenya’s ambitious target of growing 15 billion trees by 2030 as part of efforts to restore the country’s forest cover and combat climate change. Speaking in Endebess, Trans Nzoia County, during the national Mazingira Day celebrations, the President reaffirmed his commitment to the nationwide tree-growing and restoration campaign. Environment Cabinet Secretary Deborah Barasa said Kenya has planted more than two billion trees since the programme was launched, marking progress towards the 2030 target.
