 UNEP publication on Kenyan Montane Forests09.01.2013UNEP and partners have published a new report, ‘The Role and Contribution of Montane Forests and Related Ecosystem Services to the Kenyan Economy’. The montane forests of Kenya produce direct economic value for its citizens, not only from the production of various timber- and non-timber forest products, but also from a range of regulating ecosystem services that provide an insurance value to several key economic sectors. This report estimates these economic values, by means of best international analytical practices and environmental and economic evidence from Kenya, and shows that montane forests have consistently been undervalued in conventional national accounting.
