Kenya has in the last two decades suffered from high levels of deforestation of its major forests. Currently, a numbers of rivers have dried and others are in process of as a result of the deforestation. In recognition of the possible negative impacts of the deforestation, Vision 2030 states that first Medium Term Plan (2008-2012) intends to increase the forest cover from the current less than 3% to 4%. The plan includes the rehabilitation of fiver water towers and the planting of one billion trees as flagship project.

The lesser-Used tropical hardwood species are now being specified widely for mouldings (Flooring, parquet, and tongue and groove profiles), cabinet and furniture. These items are selected for shops and kitchen fitting, and for living room and office furniture. The familiar tropical species, which were usually specified for these items, are now very expensive and difficult to come by these days.
