James Torome, the Secretary-General of the Kenya Union of Special Needs Education Teachers (KUSNET), has made a bold call for the abolition of tree harvesting laws in Kenya. In a recent statement, Torome urged Environment Cabinet Secretary Soipan Tuya to take the lead in spearheading this initiative.
Torome emphasized the importance of prioritizing environmental conservation to safeguard the country’s natural resources for future generations. He highlighted concerns about the adverse effects of tree harvesting on Kenya’s ecosystems, including deforestation, habitat loss, and climate change.
As the head of KUSNET, Torome advocates for the rights and well-being of special needs education teachers and students. His call to action reflects growing awareness and concern within the education community about the environmental challenges facing Kenya.
Torome’s appeal to Environment CS Soipan Tuya underscores the need for government leadership and intervention to address environmental issues effectively. He urges the CS to champion policies and initiatives aimed at protecting Kenya’s forests and promoting sustainable land management practices.
The proposed abolition of tree harvesting laws aligns with broader efforts to promote environmental sustainability and combat climate change. Torome and KUSNET are committed to advocating for policies that prioritize conservation and preserve Kenya’s natural heritage for future generations.
