Kenya, home to rich biodiversity and forests that support local communities, is facing serious environmental decline, with forest cover at just 8%. To address this, Evertreen’s mangrove reforestation project focuses on restoring degraded areas in Lamu County and Mida Creek. By planting native mangrove species such as Avicennia marina, Rhizophora mucronata, and Ceriops tagal,, the project helps rebuild ecosystems, protect coastlines, and support marine life.
Mangroves play a vital role in absorbing carbon, improving climate resilience, and sustaining local economies through fishing and eco-tourism. Evertreen works closely with local communities, creating jobs, sharing knowledge, and encouraging long-term environmental stewardship.
Through careful site selection, sustainable forestry practices, and ongoing monitoring, the project ensures lasting impact. Beyond restoring nature, it strengthens biodiversity, supports livelihoods, and contributes to the fight against climate change, showing how collaborative efforts can create a more sustainable future.
