TREES & URBAN AREAS.

     TREES & URBAN AREAS . Donating trees to the pastor of AIC Church, Eor-Ekule Centre, who will later distribute them to church members for planting at their homes, after first planting some within the church compound. TREES & URBAN AREAS Trees are more than just part of nature in towns and cities, they should be treated as essential infrastructure. Just like we plan for roads, water systems, and drainage, we should also plan for green spaces where trees can thrive. Every tree planted is an investment in cleaner air, cooler streets, and healthier communities. Recently, at Eor-Ekule Centre, we donated and planted trees with members of the community. This event wasn’t just about putting seedlings in the soil it was about building a future where our urban areas remain livable for generations to come.

Ilpedess Clan of the Maasai

  Ilpedess Clan (Maasai) Ilpedess is a clan of the Ildamat sub-tribe of the Maasai people in Kenya . The clan is primarily found in Narok County ( Narok East , Ildamat Ward ) and Kajiado County .

Like other Maasai clans, Ilpedess follows exogamy , meaning members are not permitted to marry within the clan. Cultural Pr...

The Mau Forest

From Mau With Love: How a Kenyan Forest Waters North Africa (And Still Gets No Valentine) By Naretmuj Environmental Conservation Somewhere deep in the misty highlands of Kenya, a tree wakes up and whispers to its neighbor: “Hey... did you know our morning dew ends up in Egypt ?” Welcome to the Mau Forest Complex   the forest that waters farms, feeds rivers, fuels wildlife, and hydrates North Africa, yet still doesn’t get enough love (or even a “thank you” from Cairo ). Let’s take a deep dive why the Mau Forest matters to every East and North African. What Is the Mau Forest Complex? The Mau Forest Complex is Kenya’s largest indigenous forest system. Spanning over 400,000 hectares , it stretches across counties like Kericho , Nakuru , Bomet , and Narok . It consists of multiple forest blocks: Maasai Mau Eastern Mau South West Mau Ol Pusimoru (which still sounds like a wizard from Naimina Enkiyo) It’s a natural water tower, carbon sink, animal haven, cultural herit...
