STORYLINE:
To mark Earth Day on Monday, the government of Kenya partnered with local environmental protection groups to launch a campaign to help reclaim a dilapidated area of Ol-Bolosat Forest.
The campaign's first phase aims to plant 70,000 tree seedlings on one hundred acres of land.
According to officials, this will also help to reclaim Lake Ol-Bolosat, which has dried up due to the adverse effects of climate change and human activities.
Ol-Bolosat Forest and the Abardare Ranges serve as the main water catchments for Lake Ol-Bolosat, but most of the rivers that feed the lake have dried up due to factors such as farming and rampant deforestation.
