The Kenya Forestry Research Institute has cited several challenges it is facing as it tries to distribute native seeds.
Kefri Seed manager Bernard Kamondo told delegates who attended a Global Landscapes Forum in Nairobi that seed sources are inadequate.
“We have inadequate seed sources due to anthropogenic issues such as development and illegal logging,” he said.
Kamondo was a panellist in one of the sessions titled “A transformative partnership platform for tree seed and seedling delivery”.
The GLF Africa 2024 Hybrid Conference: Greening the African Horizon, held in Nairobi and online by the Global Landscapes Forum, brought together thousands of participants.
