The Standard Group Plc is a

print operations, television, radio broadcasting, digital and online services. The
Standard Group is recognized as a leading multi-media house in Kenya with a key
influence in matters of national and international interest.
The floods in several parts of the country can partly be blamed on the destruction of a large part of the forest cover that would have absorbed and reduced the volume and speed of the run-off water.
Kenya has the lowest forest cover in the region and often depends on imported forest products from her neighbours to meet domestic demand. Increasing forest cover from the current 7 per cent to the internationally recommended 10 per cent is important if the country is to benefit from diverse services and move towards meeting the Sustainable Development Goal on environmental sustainability.
