Mt. Kenya's Gathiuru forest block: Hope for securing a future through joint forest management with the community

This brief highlights the major findings at Mt. Kenya's Gathiuru forest, reports on the problems experienced by the community and proposes some possible solutions to those problems. By sharing this information with the community and other stakeholders, the IFRI programme aims at highlighting issues that would eventually influence policy makers in making decisions taking into consideration the community's perspectives regarding forest resource utilization, conservation and management. IT also trains the community members on nursery establishment, management and other techniques.
