Lamu Municipality Launches Mangrove Plantation, Clean Up and Household Fumigation in Kiangwi Village

The Lamu Municipality has launched an environmental conservation initiative that includes planting more than 3,000 mangrove seedlings, conducting a village wide clean up exercise, and fumigating households in Kiangwi Village, Basuba Ward.

The activity is part of the Kiangwi Mangrove Restoration and Urban Greenery Project, funded under the Kenya Urban Support Program II (KUSP II).

The project aims to strengthen environmental conservation while improving living conditions for vulnerable forest communities.

The mangrove plantation was led by Municipal Environmental Safeguard Officer Gabriel Ngige together with County Conservator Samuel Rodilo.

Participants planted more than 3,000 mangrove seedlings, including Mkoko and Mkandaa, along the Kiangwi shoreline.
