Conserving Chale
Island, 08 February 2008
 KFWG monitors the state of Kenya's
forests and uses the information generated to
advocate for better forest management practices.
In 2006, KFWG was informed of a proposal to clear
the forested 37 acres of Kaya Chale by Kalsi Limited
so as to build cottages in the Kaya. The remaining
15 acres have been developed into a hotel, the
Paradise Resort. The 37 acres are gazetted (in
1992) as national monuments by the National Museums
of Kenya and at the same time gazetted as a marine
reserve by KWS. Read
