Kenya Forestry Research Institute

The Kenya Forestry Research Institute (KEFRI) is Kenya’s national forestry research body, a Centre of Excellence in Forestry and Allied Natural Resources Research. Its Coast Eco-Region Research Programme is headquartered at Gede, inside Arabuko Sokoke Forest in Kilifi County, directly in Twende Green Planet’s own coastal restoration geography.

Shared Ground in Coastal Forest Research

• Forest productivity and tree species domestication research relevant to Kenya’s coastal ecosystems
• Mangrove research and coastal forest rehabilitation, the same restoration work Twende carries out on the ground
• Tree seed and seedling supply, plus nursery management training, for coastal forestry development
• Coverage across Kilifi, Mombasa, Lamu, Taita Taveta, Kwale and Tana River, the six coastal counties

why we name KEFRI here

Named for Shared Geography and Research Relevance

KEFRI’s Coast Eco-Region Research Programme covers the same coastal forest and mangrove research ground our own restoration work depends on. Twende Green Planet has no formal relationship with KEFRI at this stage; we name the institute here because its research is directly relevant to our own programme design, and we will report a working relationship here plainly if one develops.

• KEFRI’s research findings and seedling supply inform good coastal restoration practice generally
• Both organisations operate in the same six-county coastal research and restoration geography
• A future working relationship, if it develops, would be reported here honestly, not assumed in advance
• See our own Blue Carbon work for how this research informs our programmes
