Nairobi, Kenya (PANA) - The Kenyan government is keen to partner with the private sector in order to better manage forests and wildlife sustainably, Environment and Natural Resources Minister Kalonzo Musyoka has said.

The minister noted that the private sector continued to actively participate in other socio-economic activities and it was vital that they also be brought on board in environmental conservation and management.

Musyoka observed that Kenya had over the last few years witnessed a worrisome reduction in the amount of forest cover which now stood at 1.7 per cent of the country's land area as opposed to the internationally accepted standards of 10 per cent.

The minister was speaking Monday night during the launch of a subsidiary company of the giant cement manufacturing company, Bamburi Cement.
