* Over 600 Community members have been mobilized and sensitized on biodiversity conservation, beekeeping and processing techniques, tree domestication, pasture improvement and agro-forestry practices.
* A Natural Resources Management Committee (NRMC) has been set to comprise 7 men and 8 women, charged with the custody of the sacred indigenous forest and overseeing tree domestication and sustainable environmental management in the community;
* 20 people are trained on the various methods of pasture improvement;
* 2 Community pasture-lands of over 2ha eached have been planteed with improved animal grazing grass varieties (Bracheria, Desmodium and Stylosanthes). This has spurred up grazers in Wowo and Njilla villages to set up 5 other improved pasture plots on private land totally to some 6ha.
* After training community members on tree nursery technology, five tree nurseries are created, with more than 10,000 assorted tree seedlings (agroforestry species, catchment protection species and hardwood species);
* Over 5000 agro forestry/nitrogen fixing tree species have been planted on contour bonds in farms of 12 women in Wowo and Njilla villages.
* 6000 assorted hydrophobic and economic trees are planted in water catchment areas from where the community water supply takes its source, covering a surface area of about 6ha of land.
*100 community memebers received practical training on the various aspects of bee keeping, while 100 Kenyan Type Hives are installed in the Community forest under stricter control of 15 men and 5 women, who received beekeeping equipment (smokers, veils, suits, etc);
* After receiving intensive training from COBEX technicians, 20 community women have been charged with supervising construction of improved firesides in the communities. Over 25 households are equiped with improved firesides.
* Sign posts have been planted at strategic Points in the Community to enhance visibility of the project.

The Women and the youths who were the main users of this forest have been trained on alternative livelihood practices like the beekeeping (mostly youths and old or retired men) and women on the improved firesides as well as domestication of economic/indigenous /agro forestry trees both on-farm practice as well as regeneration of the over exploited or degraded sacred forest.

The aspect of improved fireside have actually in a way changed the people?s mentality or habit from three stones firesides to this more sustainable practice. This for sure in the long run shall drastically cut on the excessive consumption of fuel wood collected from this forest, as well as its importance in the internal control of in house pollution thereby improving on the health situation of the users.

Contribution to environmental impacts:

- Biodiversity conservation: Biodiversity of the forest has been enriched and protection of vegetation at catchments sites was done by producing 8000 assorted forest and agro forestry trees nursed and planting them in the sacred forest and watersheds. Cross pollination and more plant regeneration in the area is gained through the production and installation of 80 Kenya Type Bee plank hives and 20 Kenya type bee bamboo hives.

- The establishment of 13 improved fireside contribute to a decrease of indoor pollution and in fuel wood consumption /deforestation hence decrease climate change adverse effect on the environment.

- Soil stabilisation hence control of erosion is done through establishment of contour bonds using agro forestry seedlings.

- Job creation and income generation is encouraged and promoted via distribution of 100 beehives to community members.

- gender mainstreaming: youth and women were involved in the project design, implementation and evaluation.
