The Forest Is Our Home For Indigenous communities like the Ogiek, the forest is more than trees it’s our heritage, medicine, and lifeline. It’s where we: ♡Hang our beehives ♡Collect medicinal plants ♡Protect sacred knowledge passed down through generations As custodians of the forest, our voice matters deeply in conversations about conservation and climate action. You cannot protect nature without the people who have always lived in harmony with it. Let Indigenous voices lead the way. Alexander Kisioi Koech Environmental Activist / Freelance Journalist
