This is terrific! @CIFOR_ICRAF with @aphrc and others working with stakeholders in counties to set about tackling #Climate #child #malnutrition & #MentalHealth in #Kenya

Did you know that agriculture puts 86% of biodiversity at risk of extinction? Fortunately, we have sustainable solutions like #Agroecology and #Agroforestry to mitigate this threat and protect our biodiversity. #Visibilize4ClimateAction #Right2Food #ZeroHunger #APHRCResearch

Very concerning.

Sometimes people ask why we should be concerned about exotic species in our landscape restoration and climate adaptation plans. This is one reason why:

This is great. Endemic species in the hills highly threatened. @museumsofkenya


A total thrill for @CIFOR_ICRAF to be working with this team!

Thanks @Pgriffiths4 for the posts. I’ve been so overwhelmed nowadays I find it so hard to find time to construct messages to post.🤔 I fully agree, the week was so amazing, so energizing, so refreshing! So exciting to discuss the intervention research project with the different…



Brilliant job.

2/ A reel made in Feb 1977 at Nile mansions, where archbishop Janani Luwum was accused by Mustafa Adrisi of plotting against Idi Amin’s regime. The archbishop was murdered later that day. This & other recordings will be used by UBC in future to develop historical programs.



Very moving! Great work!!

Finally home! 39 treasured objects taken from Uganda in the 1890s and early 1900s during the British Colonial rule made it to the Uganda Museum.This is historical and a milestone in the repatriation of Africa’s lost heritage.Thank you to the team that made this possible.
