Led by board members and the steering committee, the team was able to plant more than 200 mangrove trees as per the annual reforestation process.

Mangroves are an integral part of the ecosystem of Lamu Island. They provide habitats and ample breeding ground for fish. They are also used for wood and boat building. Lamu Old Town has a historical significance and its entire architecture is tied to mangroves and they protect our land and the sea from toxic substances. Mangrove wood and extracts are used for making tannins, dyes and traditional medicine. And with more than 60 percent of Kenya’s mangroves in Lamu, it is vital to keep this ecosystem alive for the benefit of the community.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” width=”1/6″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” bottom_padding=”8%” disable_element=”yes” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_gallery type=”flickity_static_height_style” images=”7349,7350,7351,7352,7353,7354,7355,7356,7357,7358,7359,7360″ flickity_spacing=”10px” flickity_controls=”next_prev_arrows_overlaid” flickity_overflow=”hidden” flickity_wrap_around=”no-wrap” flickity_box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”lazy-load” onclick=”link_no” flickity_img_height=”500″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” column_margin=”default” bg_image=”7320″ bg_position=”center center” bg_repeat=”no-repeat” bg_color=”#1e1e1e” scene_position=”center” text_color=”light” text_align=”left” top_padding=”5%” bottom_padding=”5%” color_overlay=”#242838″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” width=”1/6″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_position=”left-right” centered_text=”true” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” width=”2/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_custom_heading text=”Get Involved” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:center” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”10″][vc_column_text]
