Kenyan President William Ruto wants 15 billion trees planted in his country over the next decade as part of a program to stop the cycle of recurring droughts.
The plan involves growing five billion trees in five years and an additional 10 billion by 2032, Ruto said at a rally in the capital, Nairobi, on Thursday. “This will eventually lead to the rehabilitation and restoration of 10.6 million hectares,” he said.
