Sunset over Nairobi, Kenya

East-Africa is famous for its vast savannahs and the biodiversity so typical for this particular landscape. Yet the region harbors a number of other forest ecosystems, including lowland and mountain rain forests, dryland forests and woodlands, and of course swamp forests and coastal mangroves. Similar to the other East-African states, Kenya is struggling with high rates of deforestation. Its forests and woodlands are threatened by illegal logging, changing climate and encroachment on forests for agricultural land and fuelwood.This photo has been graciously provided to be used in the GRID-Arendal resources library by: Yannick Beadoin
