Concerns are mounting over plans to develop 100 acres of upland forest within Nairobi National Park. Environmental group Green Belt Movement has stressed that the park is not vacant land awaiting construction, but a critical ecological asset that supports biodiversity, climate resilience, tourism, and the well-being of current and future generations. The organisation, alongside other environmental groups, is calling for the immediate suspension of any planned construction until meaningful public participation has taken place and assurances are provided that the development will not come at the expense of protected ecosystems. Lulu Gaboo spoke to Job Mwangi, the Advocacy Manager at the Green Belt Movement
