@gp_kenyagroup @NemaKenya @Environment_Ke @StateHouseKenya @KE_NextGen @KeForestService This is what serious business means! Meanwhile the jokers in charge in our country plant 50 or 60 trees and think they have accomplished something! 🤦‍♂️

Great stuff! I cannot help but wonder: if those are trees (saplings), why are they planted so close together?

Now I am curious to see if this gesture is not just symbolic but will be followed by appropriate, long-term care for these plants. How many will die because of insufficient or inappropriate care? I have seen too many of these shows for not being cynical

Incredible...more grease to your elbow President Abey and entire Ethiopians who took part in this exercise for our planet.

Great Job done.

In past human beings have so rapaciously exploited nature, and that species belonging to a quarter of all studied animal and plants groups on earth are gravely threatened.

We all shall follow the example of the ethiopians. "What wonderful news!". This one renew my faith in humanity .
