| Our water tower, providing ecosystem services to millions of people and businesses in Kenya, is currently being destroyed by fire. Over the past five days, winds and extremely dry conditions have burnt hectares of moorlands and the fire is dangerously close to the forest. In some areas the forest is starting to catch – along with the bamboo regions. We are struggling to regain control.
We desperately need more funding for helicopters hours – dropping people and dousing the area with water and planes for surveillance high up on the mountain. Hours and hours have been donated so far by our partners Tropic Air, the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and KFS.
Please donate whatever you can, every shilling, penny or cent will go directly to putting out the fires. |
