REDD+ in Kenya

Introduction

The Kokako (Callaeas cinereus) is an imperiled timberland feathered creature which is endemic to New Zealand. It is slate-light black with wattles and a dark veil.

There are two sub-types of Kokako, North Island and South Island, in spite of the fact that the ...

Since ancient time, forests, grasslands, water bodies, hay fields, and other forms of vegetation covers have remained preferable habitants for millions of birds’ species. Based on their biological, eating, and breeding habits, different birds’ species occupy designated ecological zones, which are found in various parts of the world. Some bird species prefer habitants that are near water bodies, forests, and grasslands while others prefer living near residential places, in plains and mountainous regions, and in cold and hot conditions.

Background

Over the past 100 years, more than 60 percent of world’s wetlands have been destroyed as people search for land to settle on, farm, and establish other types of business investments. Currently, wetlands cover 6 percent of the world’s surface providing a wide array of environmental services, including soil erosion control, water storage and filtration, a buffer against flooding, biodiversity maintenance, nutrient recycling, nursery for fisheries, and carbon storage among others.

However, destruction and drainage of these ecosystems has led to large amounts of carbon emissions equivalent to 40 tons of carbon per hectare per year for degraded swamp ...
