The assessment of forest resources in the Nyanza region kicked off on a high note on Monday in an exercise led by senior officials of the Kenya Forest Service.
The visit comes at a time when the country is racing towards boosting forest cover to mitigate on the effects of climate change. Notably the region has counties with low forest cover, Migori at 0.64 per cent, Kisumu (0.44), and Siaya at 0.42 per cent.
