In Kenya’s Taita Taveta County, residents living around Mwambirwa Forest have chosen action over despair—mobilising to conserve vital water sources and protect fragile catchment areas threatened by prolonged drought and environmental degradation. In this compelling news feature, ‪@PrimeAfricaTelevision‬ journalist Bill Otieno travels to the heart of Mwambirwa Forest to uncover how local communities are using indigenous knowledge, grassroots conservation strategies and collective responsibility to safeguard their water lifelines. From tree restoration and protection of natural springs to community-led forest patrols and sustainable farming practices, the feature explores the practical, often overlooked efforts shaping local climate resilience. Through intimate conversations with elders, youth groups, women leaders and environmental champions, the documentary reveals the nitty-gritty of conservation on the ground—highlighting the challenges, sacrifices and small victories in the fight against water scarcity.

Set against the scenic yet vulnerable landscape of Taita Taveta, the story underscores a powerful message: while climate change is a global crisis, its solutions may begin with communities who choose to act first—protecting nature to protect their future.
