It was a great experience interacting with mother nature at the Mt.Satima peak in the aberdares ranges in Kenya. We are dedicated to the preservation and conservation of the mountain ecosystems.

Peatlands, which cover just 3% of Earth's surface, store 550 billion tonnes of carbon—twice as much as all forests combined. However, some 15% of them have been drained for agriculture. Protecting these carbon sinks is vital #ForPeopleForPlanet. via @UNEP

#Forests do more for the climate than store and sequester carbon. 🌳 🌴 For example, they: ✅ regulate rainfall ✅ provide cooling benefits ✅ protect coastal areas ✅ provide forest products for local communities facing climatic threats via @FAO

🏜 Ecological succession transforms ecosystems: 1. Each stage prepares for the next. 2. Biomass builds soil. 3. Mature soil supports stable communities (e.g., forests). Microbiomes aid this process, and regenerative farming preserves natural soil formation. via @gpi2050

In line with the restoration agenda on World Environment Day, focus ought to be put on mountain ecosystems as well due to their crucial role in water catchment.

We can't achieve the #GlobalGoals if our ecosystems are unhealthy. From farmlands for #ZeroHunger to forests for life on land, vibrant ecosystems are crucial for our brighter tomorrow. Be part of #GenerationRestoration: ➡️decadeonrestoration.org @UNEP @FAO

A peek of the Longonot hike. The first of the Mt.Kenya prep series.


Mackinder's Mt.Kenya hike The unending rains made it quite a challenging hike but we soldiered on well.
