Takuya Furukawa is a student from Yokohama University in Japan. He has come all the way to carry out his research in the forest for his PhD in Environmental studies. Every time he visits he does a memorable thing in environmental conservation, like planting trees especially the indigenous ones. He has now planted Silver Oak, East Africa green heart and olive trees which are on high demand by loggers in the Forest. One of his research objective is to find out the most threatened tree species in Ngong forest and forms of threat.

Mr. Mutiso measuring the tree width
One or his interviewee/respondents are Kibera slums residents ( the largest slum in Kenya and Africa) who are immediate neighbours of the forest and from whom we have identified as the most cumbersome in forest destruction. This will be a good chance to find out the reason for their negative attitude in forest conservation. Such information will create ideas for us to be able to curb forest destruction and create a good rapport. We wish him good luck.
