We must plant diverse tree species that easily grow in this ecosystem and can withstand pests and diseases. Environment Cabinet Secretary Keriako Tobiko, while announcing the campaign, also called for donations of tree seedlings. Restoration of the Mau will require planting of ecologically suitable tree species, the equivalent of the remnants of the ecosystem. Besides easing transport and other logistics, documenting the nurseries and the tree species they deal with will facilitate the selection. Through agroforestry (tree on farm), the tree cover in catchment areas will be more easily restored.
