英文原文

Mucheene Forest Station into Mount Kenya Forest lies 19 km from Meru town en route Nanyuki via B6 Embu-Meru Road and taking a left turnoff at Kiirua Market to the forest station. It is best-known as one the fire prone areas in an arc across the lower western forest to the northeastern moorland – alongside Gathiuru, Nanyuki, Ontulili, Marania and Meru stations – occasionally ravaged by wild fires in the dry seasons of January to March and June to September. Concomitantly, these forest stations are marked by planted forests to replenish fragments wiped-out by fires.

The youths living around Mucheene Forest are also involved in seed production, in pruning and in its maintenance. The Conservation Environmental Facility (CEF) program of the Community Development Trust Fund (CDTF), a joint initiative of the DANIDA, EU and Kenya Government, has so far released funding of almost Kes. 20 million to assist in conservation efforts at Mucheene forest. Some of the highlights during a visit to the Mucheene Forest Station include tours of the tree nurseries, rehabilitated forest areas, the apiary, Mucheene Cave, and Lake Thai.

Kenya’s vast forest reserves are of immeasurable importance in biodiversity conservation, water regulation, and carbon storage. Collectively, these forests, natural and exotic, cover 2008 km2 or about 3.4% of Kenya’s land surface area, and 15% of the most fertile land. They also provide important recreational and ecotourism opportunities for visitors to enjoy Kenya’s natural beauty and wildlife.
