The Native Plants for Environment and People (PEP) Project aims to strengthen livelihood security and environmental health in Kenya and Tanzania by addressing challenges of rangeland degradation, deforestation, and invasive alien trees through:
1. Sharing knowledge about native grasses, forbs and trees for land regeneration
2. Demonstrating activities from seed collection and propagation to implementation of sustainable Land Management (SLM) practices
3. Strengthening capacity of agricultural advisors and providing support to local actors to embrace native plant species for land regeneration
4. Documenting environmental and economic benefits from application of SLM practices.
The project is being executed jointly by CETRAD, Biovision Africa Trust, CABI, and Kenya Forestry Research Institute
