Restoring the Heart of Kikuyu: Ondiri Wetland

Restoring the Heart of Kikuyu: Ondiri Wetland

Nestled in Kenya's Kikuyu Sub-County, Ondiri Wetland emerges as a geographical marvel, boasting the title of Afrika's second deepest quaking bog. Despite facing modern challenges like pollution and deforestation, the Friends of Ondiri Wetland Kenya (FOWK) tirelessly champion its restoration.
