One Earth Partners Spotlights ASREP Africa as Ready to Scale

ASREP Africa has been spotlighted by **One Earth Partners** as a homegrown Kenyan nonprofit **"already moving boldly"** and positioned to scale its impact across the drylands.

Recognition from a global partner

In a post highlighting organisations ready to grow their reach, One Earth Partners pointed to ASREP's momentum in community-led restoration, policy, and peacebuilding — alongside its partnership with the **Kenya Forest Service** and its features in global media, including **bioGraphic Magazine** (published by the California Academy of Sciences) and **The Guardian** (London, UK).

Turning restoration into livelihoods

One Earth Partners drew particular attention to the economic promise of ASREP's tree-growing model. According to the spotlight, at maturity the eco-champions could **"collectively earn around $2.4 million a year in gum and resin income from the *Acacia senegal* trees they planted."**

That figure captures the core of ASREP's approach: restoration is not a cost to communities but an investment in them. Gum arabic and resin from *Acacia senegal* offer a durable, climate-adapted income stream — aligning ecological recovery with household prosperity.

Rooted in community leadership

Recognition from partners like One Earth reinforces ASREP's conviction that the most credible drylands solutions are locally led. As ASREP scales, that community-rooted, evidence-driven model remains the foundation of its work.
