Key Initiatives

Kenono supports reforestation and restoration efforts across the Northeast.

Kenono works closely with communities to co-design forest conservation projects, including co-creating species lists, site selection, and long-term monitoring and governance.

A plantation at Jongpha managed for the Western Rengma community, including a three-cycle jungle clearing plan, in situ soil and water conservation, gap filling, and monitoring.

Tseminyu District Green Initiative

A corridor across seven ranges.

Kenono prepared the Tseminyu District Green Initiative vision document and, in consultation with every village council in the district’s seven ranges, the plan for a biodiversity corridor that links the Community Conserved Areas (CCAs) with the land being restored. Four village ranges have since declared and demarcated new Community Conserved Areas (CCAs) of around 1,000 hectares.
