Read our latest #research on spatial and temporal dynamics of native tropical montane forests in response to colonial alienation and exploitation within the Central highlands of Kenya.👇
🌳🪓Logging and agricultural conversions led to the loss of 46% of montane forests in Kenya's Central Highlands between 1910 and 1975, while legacies of postcolonial resettlement resulted in a further 20% loss between 1975 and 2024.
