Court Halts Reversal of Kenya's Logging Ban #AfricaClimateHope

Kenyan lawyers say the government has a case to answer over the recent decision to overturn a six-year ban on logging in the country's vulnerable forest areas, writes Melissa Britz for AllAfrica.

This follows an outcry by activists and conservationists in July, when President William Ruto announced the lifting of the ban, in a move that he said will create more jobs. Logging of forested areas began soon after the announcement.
