In 2010 and 2009, Kenya lost a whopping 5.8 billion Kenya shillings (US$68 million) and 6.6 billion shillings ($77 million), respectively, to deforestation, a new report released by the government and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) reveals.
This is despite the fact that forestry-related commercial activities brought just 1.3 billion shillings into the national economy in the same period.
