Kenya Forest Service (KFS) is taking a firm stand against illegal grazing of livestock in public forests. In a recent development, Environment CS Soipan Tuya announced stringent measures to combat this issue. The decision to ban grazing in public forests reflects the government's commitment to preserving the natural habitat and biodiversity of these areas.

Illegal grazing poses a significant threat to the delicate ecosystems within public forests. The new regulations aim to protect the environment and prevent further degradation caused by overgrazing. KFS is stepping up its enforcement efforts to ensure that these regulations are strictly implemented and that perpetrators of illegal grazing face consequences for their actions.

In line with the announcement, KFS will be working closely with local communities to raise awareness about the importance of conservation and sustainable land use practices. By engaging with stakeholders, KFS hopes to foster a sense of responsibility and ownership among community members towards protecting Kenya's forests and wildlife.

As the implementation of these measures progresses, KFS remains dedicated to safeguarding the country's natural resources for future generations. Through collaborative efforts and proactive initiatives, KFS is paving the way for a more environmentally conscious and sustainable approach to managing Kenya's forests.
