A Video About Forest Restoration In Africa (Kenya)

[Motherlode Chameleon]

This video is a good video about a forestry program that is starting up in Kenya. The people who are apart of this program look to be ambitious and appear to be handling the problems of a new program well. To say this is a beginning of forestry programs and forestry restorations in Africa is a giant step to solve loss of tropical rainforest in Africa and habitat loss for threatened and endangered species. Plus this means, once these programs are established, more prospect habitat for threatened and endangered chameleon species.

In the video the Kenyan's growing the tree's have got an ingenious way to shade their young seedlings. Normaly seedlings are shaded by shadehouses (not greenhouses) in traditional agriculture. That is a greenhouse that has a shade clothe covering instead of a transparent plastic covering. Possibly due availability or other reasons they are using the shaded from Eucalyptus orchards to provide shade for their seedlings. That I think is an ingenious way to solve a problem and progress past the possibly a lack of resources for expensive shadehouses.
