Today, the Chief Conservator of Forests, Alex Lemarkoko, launched the fencing exercise for the Kaptagat Forest ecosystem at Sabor Forest Station, covering 273 kilometres across Kessup, Sabor, Penon, Kaptagat, and Kipkabus forest blocks.

This initiative will go a long way in strengthening and sustaining ongoing conservation efforts, protecting this critical water tower and preserving biodiversity for future generations.
