(Prof.) Wangari Maathai was instrumental in salvaging Karura Forest from the existential threat of land grabbers, thereby safeguarding its preservation and conservation for current and future generations; THAT, on account of Prof. Wangari’s tireless efforts and dedication, Karura Forest is today a thriving natural endowment that not only serves as a home to many animal and plant varieties, but also provides Appropriations-in-Aid revenue for the Government through fees obtained for its therapeutic benefits that attract thousands of runners, walkers, cyclist, campers and tourists every year; THAT, Prof. Wangari’s unmatched sacrifices, selflessness and courage led to the preservation, conservation and proper management of other forests, wetlands, public parks and natural resources in the country, and are a key driver behind the Government’s environmental agenda of attaining a minimum of 10 per cent forest cover in the country; THAT, Prof. Wangari’s emphatic passion, commitment and resilience in promoting community forest management and improving the quality of life for many Kenyan communities The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
