Encouraging children and youth to participate in environmental protection and conservation is crucial for the sustainability of our planet. Young people are the future of our world, and engaging them in conservation efforts ensures that they have a deep understanding of the environment and its importance.
The Kenya Youth In Forestry Conference that kicks off today, May 17th and runs till May 19th  provides a platform for young people to learn and engage in the conservation of forests, which is critical for the survival of many species, as well as the livelihoods of communities that depend on them.
The forestry sector is vital to Kenya's economy, providing a source of timber and non-timber forest products, as well as supporting various industries such as agriculture and tourism. However, forest degradation and deforestation pose a significant threat to the environment and the country's economy. 
Through the Kenya Youth In Forestry Conference, young people can learn about the importance of forest restoration and conservation, as well as how they can contribute to these efforts. This knowledge is essential in empowering them to become active agents of change and to take an interest in the conservation of our environment.
Furthermore, engaging young people in environmental protection and conservation can inspire them to develop innovative solutions to environmental challenges. It can also foster an entrepreneurial mindset that can lead to the creation of new businesses and employment opportunities, addressing the issue of youth unemployment in Kenya. 
By encouraging young people to take an interest in conservation efforts, we can create a generation of environmentally conscious and responsible citizens who are committed to protecting the planet.
In conclusion, the Kenya Youth In Forestry Conference is an excellent initiative that encourages young people to engage in the conservation of forests and the environment in general.
It provides a platform for learning and collaboration, empowering young people to become active agents of change and to make a positive impact in their communities and the country as a whole. Encouraging children and youth to participate in environmental protection and conservation is a critical step towards a sustainable future for Kenya and the world.
