What makes kenha consider doing a road in the forest instead of in the villages where it will achieve a greater impact. The road is for human use and not for wild animals.
this is a topic very close to my heart as a journalist and an environmentalist I am so happy that mainstream media in Kenya is constantly amplifying it, I only pray the government takes a more proactive and environmental friendly approach
@lewanjoski Exactly, one road is going to destroy the whole forest! Really? These so called environmentalists overdo themselves. Anyway, that's how they earn their money.
@@samuelmusyoka973you have ..I agree the road is already there .what this scientist like you are not telling people is the impact of the termarking it.. There are many other areas in Kenya where water catchment can work and you SCIENTISTS are not exploiting. For you for one go to Kitui and loo at IKOO valley. "You don't even know where it is.Go plant Trees in Ukambani please. People living in glass houses don't throw stones
The most funny thing here is that the natives and dwellers nyeri and Nyandarua have nothing to complain about.... watu wengine ata hawajawahi kanyanga aberdare ndio wanapiga kelele.... we preserved our forests when they were destroying Mau... sasa ata hatuwezi jenga barabara kwa amani..... very stupid
They should consider an underground road if it is a must we have the road curting through the park! The construction of this road will impact accelerate fire occurrence in the park as well. A threat that we rarely talk about that will immensely destroy the forest
First great coverage of the story kudos. My thinking is Nema is compromised and thus the sudden change in its standing. All factors considered its just a bad idea to build this road through the aberdare forest. We have few water catchment areas in Kenya we can't just destroy even the little remaining. My two cents
Which esteemed colleagues in nema? I honestly think people working in nema are earning free money. Nema only focuses on highly controversial projects involving politicians. They couldn't be bothered by issues affecting regular Kenyans
Actually the forest is being depleted daily. last year how many acres were burnt down? And now a road ? The roads are needed where the farmers are to open up nyandarua
Watu waache siasa. I have never seen/heard any issue with gakoe-flyover road that is passing in the middle of the road. Furthermore, there is a road that exists.
Question...one can travel newyork to losangeles..roadtrip with saloon car...when you come to africa you purport diffences in quality of development???we in africa need infrastructure, our farmers need to seamlessly trade 🎉soon nairobi to lagos by road!!
Im sure there are tries and tested methodds to build roads in these kind of forests...it can be a win win Instead of this huge barrier to trade brtween nyeri and nyandatua
There is no goodwill when it comes to this road construction and the hero of mau mau always gets pushed aside when a project in his name comes up it is common practice to raise a road above the ground at critical areas of water catchment and wildlife corridor like in SGR.
Can you all just be Wangari Mathaai's for the sake of the preservation of this heritage? If she saved Karura Forest, so I am sure, can you all. Join forces, educate Kenyans, and stand up for what is right please. 🙏
hizi ni propaganda , there is already a marram road in the area, what is the big deal upgrading it to Bitumen standards? how much more space will it take?we need these roads to open up our country . my village home bouders the aberdare national park fence. SGR passes through tsavo east and west, and Nairobi national park. the issue about trees, we can multiply by 10 the trees destroyed, and re plant in other forests like Mt Elgon, Nairobi national park etc. even masai mara .this road will reduce travel time by over 1 hour. thats a huge economic gain as compared to trees destroyed. actually, we as a country need to emerge from stone age era and be modernised. Like Kitengela and nairobi, there is a road inside nairobi national park that would reduce travel time from 1;30 min to just 30 min, problem is the conservationists.
you don’t seem to understand, this is a national park,, the existing murram road is not open 24/7,,, they only open it during the day,,, once it’s tarmaced kenyans will encroach, that’s for sure
Thank you!!!this NEMA is making people think it's a new road..it's been there for years it just needs upgrading to bitumen.Actualy the trees to be affected is negligible
Recognizing Infrastructure like a road spurs huge social economic impact, which economic impact does NEMA anticipate in a road passing through an important ecosystem at a longer distance vis a vis passing through existing townships with a potential of stirring more economic centers at a shorter distance? Ujinga ulioko Kenya ni maajabu.

The aberdares are a water tower. All the water used in Nairobi comes from the rivers that originated from the water tower. Why don't you take a hike up the ranges and you will get an idea of just how much our lives depend on the ranges
@@oyugilinus1503 this is my neighbourhood. Join one of the tours that do hikes up the different terrain and you will realise just how precious it is. You go through bamboo forest,the moorlands and natural forest. The biodiversity will enlighten you. The rivers here run clear and you can drink the water. Why do we have to destroy it. Already the road is touching on bamboo and the moorland. Do you realise just how high up that is?
Isn't it the same thing it was said during SGR going through parks...
What makes kenha consider doing a road in the forest instead of in the villages where it will achieve a greater impact. The road is for human use and not for wild animals.
Yes it doesnt make sense
Check Google maps and you’ll realize why that road has to pass thro the forest.
For connecting. If yu know yu know.

That road is a must, alot of food is wasting away in Nyandarua because the food cannot reach Nyeri
Why not do flyover kind of road like express way
No I disagree what percentage does construction of road use up,its a great way of opening up the country

stop the construction stop the greed we love our eco system who is talking for the animals who live there
Don't chase developments, Being with a good road means development in the area .
There exist a road so upgrading it to asphalt shouldn't be a big deal
Great work Dan Kaburu
Thank you. Lets protect mother nature
They should consider an underground road if it is a must we have the road curting through the park! The construction of this road will impact accelerate fire occurrence in the park as well. A threat that we rarely talk about that will immensely destroy the forest
I would love to hear what kenha environmentalists have to say… they do their assessments for every project, what’s their thoughts on this one?

No one has put it better than you.Tru ,tru

Really sad,God please raise the spirits of Wangari Maathai
Government should consider the Alternative road instead of interfering with aberdare eco system
Alarmist everywhere. The forest is thousands of acres big.
