Better Globe Forestry has started a new co-operation with UNESCO
Strategic Partnership for Biodiversity Conservation: Better Globe Forestry and UNESCO Collaborate in Kenya
Better Globe Forestry (BGF) and UNESCO have taken a significant first step by signing a letter of intent. The Regional Director, Mr. Alexandros Makarigakis, represented UNESCO in this collaboration. The aim is to establish a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) where BGF and esteemed partners will work together on a joint program. This program, coordinated by BGF, focuses on the protection, conservation, and restoration of biodiversity within a UNESCO-designated biosphere reserve and World Heritage Site in Kenya.
This groundbreaking partnership has been initiated and supported by His Excellency, the Belgian Ambassador, Mr. Peter Maddens, from the Embassy of Belgium in Nairobi. The collaboration signifies a substantial advancement towards a long-term program aimed at preserving and enhancing the biodiversity of the designated area.
