"Now, this is part of the AFR100 Movement an Africa-wide initiative to restore 100 million hectares of land by 2030. All on a continent where we know 60 percent of soils are degraded...The Green Belt Movement is an example of a restoration champion in Kenya. 50 million trees planted by a network of 5,000 women today. And they do this by organizing themselves into groups, generating tree nurseries, collecting seeds themselves that they sow, generate seedlings and plant on public land and private land. This is the genius of restoration champions."
