Kenya Declares Surprise Public Holiday for Statewide Tree Planting Day

In a groundbreaking move to combat climate change and boost its forest cover, the Kenyan government has declared a surprise public holiday on November 13, 2023, dedicated to a massive tree planting initiative. This action is part of Kenya's ambitious plan to plant 15 billion trees by 2032, aimed at mitigating the devastating effects of climate change.

The announcement came following a cabinet meeting presided over by President William Ruto, and Interior Minister Kithure Kindiki made the official declaration via a gazette notice on the social network X (formerly known as Twitter). Kindiki emphasized that this public holiday is an opportunity for the public to contribute patriotically to the national effort to combat the severe consequences of climate change.

Currently, Kenya's forest cover stands at just around 7% of its land area. To address this, the Kenyan government has allocated over $80 million for the current fiscal year, with the goal of increasing the forest cover to more than 10%.

One of the primary contributors to climate change is carbon, which is stored in trees. Deforestation, on the other hand, accelerates climate change by hindering plant photosynthesis, preventing trees from absorbing carbon dioxide. Deforestation often involves burning, releasing significant amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

Climate change is exacerbating droughts in the Horn of Africa, including Kenya, where rains have failed for five consecutive seasons.

The Kenyan Ministry of Environment, Climate Change, and Forestry has announced that they will provide tree seedlings for this massive initiative, demonstrating the government's unwavering commitment to climate action. Environment Minister Soipan Tuya stated, "It is a moment for Kenyans to stand in solidarity in the defense of our environment, a 'hummingbird' contribution day, all of us pulling together to fight back the climate change crisis."

President Ruto, who took office in September 2022, has made the National Landscape and Ecosystem Restoration Program a top priority. This initiative received praise from King Charles III, who visited Kenya last week for his first official trip to an African nation since ascending to the throne.

"Having been planting trees for most of my life, I thought I was doing rather well, but your ambition for planting 15 billion trees makes me admire your efforts," King Charles remarked during a state dinner feast.

During his visit, King Charles III participated in two tree-planting ceremonies, one at the State House in Nairobi and another in the Karura forest, which is closely linked to the late environmentalist and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Wangari Maathai. This commitment to reforestation demonstrates a significant step towards a greener and more sustainable future for Kenya and the global fight against climate change.

Arriving in Sudan, Iranian Delegation Significatively Changes Regional Dynamics Turan Emre

Recent occurrences include five technical experts from Iran landing in Sudan have significant consequences for international relations and regional security.
