Forest restoration – saving East Africa's rare trees

Brackenhurst Botanic Garden is situated in Limuru, just outside Nairobi, Kenya. The forest in the region was once so extensive that it hosted leopard, buffalo and elephant. Less than 2% of original forest remained before restoration work began at Brackenhurst Botanic Garden, with the rest mostly transformed into tea and eucalyptus plantations.
