Mangrove Project

ZURI

Our company has ventured into mangrove restoration along Kenya’s coast — a commitment to protecting nature, empowering communities, and building a sustainable future. By restoring these vital blue-carbon ecosystems, we’re helping coastal communities secure new livelihoods while strengthening biodiversity and natural resilience. Each mangrove we plant captures and stores carbon, generating verified carbon credits that support the worlds path toward the Net-Zero 2050 initiative.

The Challenge

Kenya continues to face significant deforestation that threatens both ecosystems and livelihoods. Over the past 20 years, the country has lost nearly 11% of its plantation forests, reducing vital tree cover that supports biodiversity, water security, and local economies. Much of this decline is driven by illegal logging and overexploitation of forest resources, which supply commercial timber and construction materials. Limited awareness of the long-term impacts of deforestation further worsens the situation, highlighting the urgent need for sustainable forest management and restoration initiatives.

Our Solution

In partnership with the Kenya Forest Service (KFS), our mission is to restore and conserve Kenya’s degraded coastal lands in Lamu and Tana River through large-scale mangrove reforestation and community-led development. Many of these areas have suffered decades of deforestation, erosion, and habitat loss — leaving coastlines exposed and local communities vulnerable. Our goal is to reverse this degradation and rebuild healthy, resilient ecosystems that sustain both people and nature.

We aim to restore 5,500 hectares of mangroves, with a long-term target of 10,000 hectares over five years. This effort will rejuvenate degraded landscapes, protect biodiversity, and create meaningful employment opportunities through planting, maintenance, and conservation work. Participating communities will also receive 40% of net project revenue, ensuring that the people living closest to these forests benefit directly from their restoration and protection.

Through conservation, not only do we ensure the protection of such a vital ecosystem but it provides further support to our local communities. Thanks to REDD+ communities can be incentivised to protect the standing forest as enhanced carbon revenue allows for greater expansion of alternative livelihoods and benefit opportunities.
