NAIROBI, Kenya – October 10, 2024 — On this year’s Mazingira Day, renowned Ruaraka leader Dr. Boaz Cheluget has called on all Kenyans to actively protect the environment, urging them to plant and grow at least 10 trees each, symbolizing the date of October 10. Dr. Cheluget emphasized the urgent need to shield Kenya’s biodiversity from harmful practices that threaten its sustainability.
In his heartfelt message, Dr. Cheluget highlighted that climate change is no longer a distant threat but a stark reality impacting communities globally. “We are living through the severe consequences of climate change—rising temperatures, erratic weather patterns, and devastating flash floods. It is our responsibility to take decisive action now,” he stated.
His call for action resonates with the ongoing global efforts to address climate change, which has caused destructive weather patterns, prolonged cold spells, and flash floods that have claimed lives. Dr. Cheluget’s message aligns with the Kenya Kwanza government’s bottom-up approach, which prioritizes addressing climate change as part of its development agenda.
As the world faces the tangible effects of environmental degradation, Dr. Cheluget urged every Kenyan to embrace tree planting as a small but vital step towards safeguarding the planet. His message underscores the collective role that citizens must play to mitigate climate change and protect future generations from its devastating impact.
