I was privileged to be part of an event in Nyanza last January, albeit remotely, for which I donated tree seedlings. By September, only 10 of the over 200 seedlings planted in a school compound still stood.
The rest withered or were destroyed by livestock. I was later told locals, despite celebrating at the event, had no clue why they should grow trees, and how climate change affects them. I shared the guilt of planting trees in front of cameras and not ensuring they grew. I hope the surviving 10 mature someday.
