NATIONAL FOREST COVER MAP, 2010 Figure 1 Distribution of the Kenya’s forest cover (KFS 2010) Kenya’s forest cover was 6.99% in 2010. This status was according to the comprehensive National Forest Resources Assessment and Mapping report (KFS 2013). 6 1. BACKGROUND 1.1. Rationale for this strategy This strategy, which is aligned to the National Forest Program, is a cross-sectoral framework that provides for: (i) Broad Institutional and multi-stakeholder participation in accelerating the achievement of the Constitutional target of 10% tree cover of the national land area as provided under Article 69 (1) (b); (ii) Implementation of Presidential Directives that the Constitutional target of 10% national tree cover should be achieved by 2022 through among other initiatives the revival of Chief’s tree nurseries with technical support of Kenya Forest Service and allocation of 10% Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) to tree growing; (iii) Opportunity to achieve national and global commitments with respect to climate change, biodiversity conservation, and land degradation. The government has committed to restore 5.1 million Ha of degraded landscapes as a contribution to the Africa Forest Landscape Initiative (AFR100), 50% reduction of green house gases from the forest sector by 2030 as part of its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) to climate change, and to achieve land degradation neutrality by 2030 as a commitment to United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD); (iv) Shared responsibility towards addressing public concerns with regard to continued deforestation, forest degradation and the need for enhanced protection, conservation and sustainable management of forest resources ; (v) Enhancing the contribution of the forestry sector towards implementation of the Big 4 Agenda. The environment and forest sector is the foundation upon which the performance of the key primary sectors of the economy is anchored including, manufacturing, energy, health and agriculture. The strategy provides for a series of interventions towards achieving and maintaining 10% tree cover by 2022. 7 1.2. Extent of national forest cover (i) The last comprehensive forest cover assessment, “wall-to-wall”, conducted in 2013, established that by 2010 the national forest cover stood at 4.18 million Ha, representing 6.99% of the total land area. (ii) Gazzetted public forests managed by Kenya Forest Service cover 2.59 million Ha. Their distribution is as contained in annex 1. (iii) In 2015, the forest cover was estimated at 7.2% based on the national projection from the 2010 forest cover data. This is according to the Global Forest Resources Assessment Report, 2015 (FAO, 2015). (iv) The forest cover is below the recommended minimum global standard of 10%. Kenya has set the goal of increasing and maintaining the national tree cover to at least 10% by 2022. (v) Analysis of land-use change over the period 1990-2015 has established that Kenya lost 311,000 Ha of forestland. Forest cover loss is mostly due to conversion to settlements, crop farming and infrastructure developments. This is summarized in table 1. (vi) The increasing and largely rural population and high dependency on rain-fed agriculture also explains the expansion of the croplands at the expense of the forestland. Table 1: Land-use area changes in Kenya (‘000 Ha), 1990-2015 Land use 1990 2000 2005 2010 2015 Forest land 4,724 3,557 4.047 4,230 4,413 Crop land 9,258 9,661 9,868 10,072 10,276 Grassland 41,522 41,654 41,496 41,080 40,664 Settlement 57 87 109 126 143 Other lands 1,004 1,574 1,035 1,044 1,053 Wetlands 1,472 1,504 1,482 1,485 1,488 Total area 58,037 58,037 58,037 58,037 58,037 Source: FAO, 2015 1.3. Forest types (i) Forests in Kenya are classified into four (4) major forest types and eight sub-types. Table 2 presents information regarding the forest types, sub-types and the approximate area for each category as at 2010. 8 Table2: Forest types Forest type Forest sub-types Approximate area (Ha) % of total forest area 1.

NATIONAL POLICIES AND LEGAL FRAMEWORKS The following laws and policies have direct relevance in supporting this strategy of increasing the tree cover to 10%; (i) The Constitution of Kenya The Constitution requires the Country to increase and maintain tree cover at a minimum 10% of the total land area. Article 69 (1) (b) emphasizes on the need to “work to achieve and maintain a tree cover of at least ten per cent of the land area of Kenya”. (ii) The Kenya Vision 2030 The Vision places the environmental sector in the social pillar and emphasizes the need to conserve natural resources to support economic growth. For forests, the goal is to increase area under forest to 10% by 2030 and sustainably manage natural forest resources for environmental protection and enhanced economic growth. (iii) Medium Term Plan III (2018-2022) Under the Medium Term III, the government has committed to protect natural forests in the water towers and continued rehabilitation of landscapes to increase and sustain water flow and ecological integrity. 9 (iv) Forest Conservation and Management Act 2016 Section 6(3)(a)(iii) highlights the need to develop “programmes for achievement and maintenance of tree cover of at least 10% of the land area of Kenya”. Section 37(1) requires every County Government to, establish and maintain arboreta, green zones or recreational parks for use by persons residing within its area of jurisdiction. In this regard, every County shall cause housing estate developers within its jurisdiction to make provision for the establishment of green zones at the rate of at least 5% of the total land area of any housing estate intended to be developed. (v) Environmental Management and Coordination CAP 387 and (Amendment) Act, 2015 The Act Provides for protection of forests and environmental impact assessments of forest related developments. Section 9(2)(r) of the Act requires NEMA to work with other lead agencies to issue guidelines and prescribe measures to achieve and maintain a tree cover of at least 10% of the land area of Kenya. Section 44 of the Act requires that NEMA in consultation with other relevant lead agencies, develop, issue and implement regulations, procedures, guidelines and measures for sustainable management of hilltops, hillsides and wetlands. (vi) Agriculture (Farm Forestry) Rules 2009 These Rules shall apply for the purposes of promoting and maintaining farm forest cover of at least 10% of every agricultural land holding and to preserve and sustain the environment in combating climate change and global warming. Part II Section 6 of the Rules specifically deals with the maintenance of 10% tree cover. 3. THE ROLE OF FORESTS IN ENHANCING ECOLOGICAL INTEGRITY AND NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT The environmental, economic and social development of any country is centred on its environment, natural resources and the choice of appropriate conservation and management strategies, (MENR, 2016). 3.1. Ecological functions of forests Forest ecosystems are important in supporting ecological integrity and provide a wide range of services including; (i) Foundation for the success of other productive sectors such as agriculture, tourism, infrastructure, livestock, wildlife, industry, water, health and energy; 10 (ii) Support to a wide variety of ecological niches with about 7,000 indigenous plant species; (iii) Reservoirs for biodiversity and critical habitats for wildlife. Mangrove forests for example are essential breeding grounds for fish and protect the coastal areas from degradation; (iv) Dryland forests are critical to human existence and drought resilience in the ASALs. (v) Climate change mitigation and adaptation; For example, an assessment done in Mau Forest Complex, Cherangany Hills, and Mt. Elgon ecosystems estimated that the total economic value (TEV) of the three water tower ecosystems is estimated to be KES 339 billion per year which translates to about 5.0% of Kenya’s GDP (2017) as shown in table 3. Table 3: Total Economic Value for Mau, Cherangany, and Mt. Elgon ecosystems Type of Ecosystem Services Ecosystem Services Annual (KES) Contribution to TEV (%) Provisioning Timber and Non-timber 22,941,590,363 6.33 Food Production 634,770,000 0.18 Water 3,427,027,000 0.95 Hydropower 11,983,679,000 3.31 Biodiversity 5,712,786,000 1.58 Tourism 9,300,000,000 2.57 Subtotal 53,999,852,363 14.90 Regulating Water Flow 2,960,143,000 0.82 Water-Quality Regulation 1,155,366,000 0.32 Carbon Sequestration 176,657,067,000 48.75 Oxygen Generation 118,461,049,000 32.69 Microclimatic Regulation 2,099,161,000 0.58 Subtotal 301,332,786,000 83.16 Supporting Soil Conservation 1,060,000,000 0.29 Nutrient Conservation 4,499,000,000 1.24 Pollination 930,564,000 0.26 Subtotal 6,489,564,000 1.79 Cultural and Spiritual 235,358,000 0.06 Bequest 297,905,000 0.08 Subtotal 533,263,000 0.15 Grant Total 362,355,465,363 100.00 3.2. Contribution of forests to the economy i) The contribution of the forest sector to the GDP is estimated at USD 365 million (3.6%) annually, excluding environmental services, non-timber products, and contributions to other sectors and household wood energy (FAO, 2014). This represents an under 11 valuation of the sector contribution to the national economy, largely due to the subsistence nature and informal marketing of most of the forest products (UNEP, 2012). ii) The Current Economic Survey (2019) estimates the contribution of environment and natural resources at 3.2% of the GDP in 2018. 3.3. Forests and the Big 4 agenda Forests are enablers of the big 4 Agenda whose contributions are described as follows; i) Housing: The success of the government’s plan to provide at least 500,000 affordable and decent housing by 2022 will depend strongly on the inputs from the forest sector, including; timber, poles, pulp, veneer, parquets. The furniture industry, which strongly depends on inputs from forests, has an estimated annual production value of KES 23 billion (Creapo Oy, 2014). Kenya is a net importer of sawn timber, panel products paper, furniture and transmission poles. In 2011; these imports, mainly from D.R. Congo, Tanzania, South Sudan, Malawi and Mozambique were worth USD 50 million. Between 2009 and 2013, Kenya imported Timber from DRC and Tanzania worth Kshs 15.6 billion. ii) Health: Forests play critical roles in the achievement of 100% Universal Health Care (UHC) by supporting; production of raw materials for the pharmaceutical industry, absorption of pollutants, water purification, herbal medicine, and improved nutrition. There is significant clinical evidence that deforestation has significant impact on the mosquito vectoral capacity by increasing the number of new mosquito infections from one infected individual by 77%. World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 80% of the population of developing countries relies on traditional medicine, originating from forests, for their primary health care needs. It is further estimated that 60 % of anticancer and antihypertensive drugs are of plant origin. Forests and trees serve as natural air conditioners, filter harmful pollutants and act as carbon sinks. iii) Manufacturing: Forests provide raw materials, energy sources for the industries, power transmission, and water sources. The assessment, of Mau Forest Complex, Cherangany Hills, and Mt. Elgon ecosystems valuation, established that they provide 35 million m3 of water valued at KES 3.4 billion per year for irrigation, industry, and commercial uses by various stakeholders. iv) Food Security: Source of food, fodder for Livestock, soil and water conservation, household incomes, and employment. The Mau, Cherangany and Mt. Elgon ecosystem contribution towards production of fodder, food (fruits, game meat), planted food crops (maize, potatoes, peas, etc) is estimated at KES. 634,770,000. The rivers and 12 streams that emanate from these ecosystems support the irrigation of 52,030 hectares of agricultural land in Kenya, thus making invaluable contributions to food security. They support soil and nutrient conservation, provision of water and habitat for pollinators. 3.4. Forests and water i) Under Article 43(1)(d) of Constitution of Kenya, every person has the right to clean and safe water in adequate quantities. However, the country is classified as a water scarce country where the renewable water resource is 647 m 3 per capita which is below 1,000 m 3 threshold. ii) Forests have capacity to store water during the rainy seasons and release it slowly, ensuring water flow during dry periods, thus providing resilience to seasonal weather variations. iii) Of great importance also are the five critical montane forests, (Mt Kenya, Aberdare Ranges, Mau Complex, Cherangani Hills and Mount Elgon) . These montane forests serve as water catchments for major rivers draining into the major water bodies in Kenya and the East African Region. . investment in sustainable forest management and conservation of water catchment is critical to Kenya’s rural and urban water supplies, and hydropower generation. iv) Ecological functioning of forests is threatened by agricultural expansion, over exploitation and unsustainable use. Between 2000 and 2010, deforestation in the water towers amounted to an estimated 50,000 hectares per year, leading to reduced water availability by approximately 62 million cubic meters per year (UNEP, 2012); v) The continued existence and sustainability of irrigation schemes and water reservoirs, which are a major investment by government and the private sector are dependent on the ecological stability of the water catchments; 3.5. Forests and energy i) Over 80% of Kenyan rural households rely on wood fuel either as firewood or charcoal. The charcoal industry is a leading contributor to job creation, employing approximately 700,000 people, and estimated to support between 2.3–2.5 million dependants (MENR, 2016); 13 ii) The Country will need to invest heavily in alternative energy sources for cooking and lighting, to address the over reliance on woodfuel which is associated with deforestation and forest degradation. iii) Hydro power generation in Kenya is derived from the forested catchments of Kenya’s water towers and principally from the Aberdares Mt. Kenya, Mau, and Charangani forest ecosystems. Forests are the main source of water for hydropower electricity generation, currently estimated at 282.8 megawatts valued at KES 11.9 billion per year but with a potential of 508 megawatts once the full capacity is exploited. 3.6. Forests and Climate Change i) Forests, due to their capacity to act as carbon sinks and by providing key environmental services, are globally recognized as critical in climate change mitigation and adaptation. This capacity can be enhanced through conservation, rehabilitation of degraded areas, afforestation and reforestation activities; ii) By providing important environmental goods and services, including water, biodiversity conservation, soil erosion control, maintenance or improvement of landscape, forest landscapes are credited with strengthening community resilience to climate change; iii) Analysis in the Kenya’s National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP), the second National Communication (SNC) and nationally determined contribution (NDC) indicates that the forestry sector has the highest potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and therefore the highest potential to deliver on Kenya’s NDC; iv) Kenya has made a commitment to the UNFCCC, to participate in REDD+ as a global mechanism to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation and forest degradation while protecting available forest resources and promoting afforestation and reforestation activities. This also provides an opportunity for the forest sector to tap into global funding mechanisms. There exists a potential for carbon trading using credits from REDD+ and other forestry related activities. 4. INTERNATIONAL CONVENTIONS AND OBLIGATIONS 4.1. Commitments to global initiatives and Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs) i) Restoration of 5.1 million Ha by 2030 of degraded landscapes as part of its contribution to the Africa Forest Restoration Initiative (AFR100) and the Bonn challenge, both of which contribute to the Paris Agreement goals and the United Nations declaration of forests; 14 ii) Reduction of 11 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions every year upto 2030 from the forest sector as an obligation to the Paris Climate Change Agreement. This will require huge investments in restoration of degraded landscapes and new afforestation and reforestation programmes. iii) Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) by 2030 as its contribution to the United Nations Convention to combat desertification (UNCCD). Kenya has also ratified the following MEAs: i) Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) in relation to biodiversity and the Nagoya Protocol on access to generic resources and benefit sharing (ABS) most of which resources in Kenya occur in forests; ii) United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and its Paris Agreement identifies forestry as a key vehicle for delivering global climate change goals. Under the obligation Kenya has developed; the climate change policy and Act, and the National Climate Change Action Plan. The implementation of the action plan will contribute to the achievement of the 10% tree cover; iii) United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) recognizes afforestation as key in arresting the spread of deserts. Kenya has committed to land degradation neutrality by 2030. National action plan for restoration of degraded sites in ASALs, and Climate Smart Agriculture Strategy exist to support the national efforts; iv) United Nations Forum on Forests (UNFF) which has developed a Strategic Plan for Forests (2017-2030) that operationalizes the Global Forest Goals on sustainable management of all forests and trees outside forests; v) Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES). Forest provide habitat for a wide verity of endangered species of fauna and flora. vi) Convention for the protection of world cultural and natural heritage (UNESCO). Forests, because species diversity harbor most of the country’s natural and cultural heritage, such as Kayas, indigenous resources and knowledge. 4.2. Forests and SDGs Sustainable forest management positively impacts on several SDGs: SDG 1 (poverty eradication) by forests providing income to fight poverty; SDG 2 (zero hunger) through the provision of fruits, employment, reducing soil erosion, dry season grazing lands; SDG 3 (good health and well-being) through the provision of medicinal plants, ; SDG 6 (clean water and sanitation) through the provision of fresh water for drinking and irrigation; SDG 13 (climate action) through carbon capture and storage (CCS) and SDG 15 through contributions to biodiversity. 15 5. DRIVERS OF TREE COVER LOSS While forests are recognized for their social, economic and environmental importance, deforestation, forest degradation and fragmentation of forests have undermined their capacity for sustainable delivery of these key services. The major causes of tree cover loss include; i) Weak forest governance, coordination and collaboration in the management of public, community and private forests; ii) Increasing population and overreliance on forests for production of wood energy especially for charcoal. The gap between supply and demand for wood is estimated at 13 million m 3 ; iii) Inadequate land and forest tenure security to support conservation and forest investments especially in community and private forests; iv) Forest and grassland fires and overgrazing in forest reserves, national parks, game reserves, community and private forests; v) Conversion of forest land to agriculture, settlements and infrastructure development arising from lack of implementation of national and CGs spatial plans; vi) Wastage in wood utilization especially in timber conversion and charcoal production; and vii) Climate change and associated impacts. Reduced water levels in rivers and dams, declining economic activities arising from water rationing, loss of wildlife habitats, conflicts over water and pasture and increased soil and water erosion in catchment areas are major manifestation of deforestation and landscape degradation. Strengthening of institutional capacities of Kenya Forest Service and County Governments to enable them implement their respective mandates, and providing incentives to catalyze community and private sector investment in tree growing and conservation efforts are critical in halting deforestation and forest degradation and driving positive transformation in the forest sector. 6. PRESIDENTIAL DIRECTIVES The following Presidential Directives have been issued to support achievement of the 10% tree cover; i) Accelerated attainment of 10% National tree cover by 2022; 16 ii) Commitment at One Planet Summit during the UNEA4 Conference to achieve and surpass Constitutional target of 10% National tree cover by 2022; iii) Review of teaching curriculum to include sustainable forest management ; iv) All Chiefs to revive Chief’s tree nurseries; and v) Allocation of 10% CSR budget for tree growing by all Ministries, Department and Agencies (MDAs). 7.
