A section of farmers in Kinango, Lunga Lunga and Shimba sub counties, Kwale County, have embarked on the restoration of degraded land with eye on carbon credit funds.

Through the Restore Africa programme that is implemented by stakeholders including the Kwale county government and World Vision, more than 20,000 families have already been enrolled, with a target of 50,000 families and restoration of 70,000 acres of land in five years.
