At the back yard is an irrigated Conservation Farming (CF) plot owned by one of their members Inside: I n TIST, we find strength in taking action together and sharing our successes with others in our Small Groups, in our clusters, and beyond. In October 2016,TIST Kenya held its first ALL Clusters Meeting at Nanyuki Social Hall, Nanyuki town. Many farmers who attended felt this is a great idea for farmers to learn more about TIST, ask question about program operations, give suggestions on how to improve service to the farmers, learn from each other Best Practices etc. TIST Leadership council took views of the farmers. It was suggested that Annual Cluster meetings be held in regions. It was also suggested that only the Best Clusters should be invited to these events. As such, the following regions have been proposed; i) 

Region 1: Clusters from Meru, Kirinyaga and Embu ii) Region 2: Clusters from Nyeri, Laikipia, Nyandarua , Nakuru and Narok/Bomet iii) Region 3: Clusters from Machakos, Murang’a and Taita iv) Region 4: Clusters from Nyamira, Trans Nzoia and Nandi For your Cluster to qualify, you need to work together and meet the following criteria; 1) Your Cluster must be meeting every month and sending your reports (Both meeting and Accounting reports). If you need help or have questions, talk to your Cluster servant or Jeniffer Kithure, 0726 319 539 2) In your Cluster, half or 50% of Small Groups have raised seedbeds. If you need help or have questions, talk to your Cluster servant or Dorothy Naitore, 0726 788 662 3) 

In your Cluster, you should t have planted 25, 000 new trees planted in the past 12 months before the ACM. If you need help or have questions, talk to your Cluster servant or Kimani Mwangi, 0722 477 321 4) Half of the farmers in your Cluster should be using improved stoves. If you need help or have questions, talk to your Cluster servant or Charles Ibeere, 0720 474209 5) 75% of the farmers in your Cluster should be practicing Conservation Farming (CF). If you need help or have questions, talk to your Cluster servant or Dorothy Naitore 0726 788 662 6) Atleast 5 people in the Cluster should be able to access and get information from TIST websites besides the Cluster Servant. If you need help or have questions, talk to your Cluster servant or Eunice Wambui 0724 431071 7) Your Cluster should have developed, used and shared Best Practices with your Group of Clusters Council (GOCC) or whole country. 

You can share your Best Practices through the GOCC meetings or Mazingira Bora. If you need help or have questions, talk to your Cluster servant or Jeniffer Kithure or Martin Weru, 0722 846501 Remember: A strong cluster should have at least 200,000 Quantified trees, 30-50 active Small Groups who meet each month, elected servant leaders, and be carrying out and reporting on good training and quantification. ENGLISH VERSION 2 Annual Clusters Meeting: Share your successes to make your cluster and TIST strong. I ndigenous trees are tree species that have developed in Africa and are well suited to the environment they developed in. They may improve soil and attract birds and helpful insects. Different trees will grow better in different places. From TIST Seminars and Cluster meetings, 

TIST participants have identified types of indigenous trees that are very good and beneficial in their areas. Some of these are described below, and we thank the World Agroforestry Centre for this information on benefits and seed collection and preparation for success. Please consider some of them in your next planting season, and let us know some of the best kinds in your area! a. Prunus africana This indigenous tree is mainly found in forest reserves. Seeds are available in forests during the dry season. Collect only dark brown, ripe fruits from the crown of the tree, or the ground. Remove the pulp by soaking for 24 hours, then wash over a wire mesh. Spread in a thin layer in an airy, shaded place to dry – but for 4 hours only. The seed does not store, so use the fresh seed. Wrapping moist leaves around the seed minimizes moisture loss during temporary transport and storage. Sow directly into the seedbed or pots. Germination takes 6-8 weeks. Uses: 

• Pest repellant: Can repel some pests e.g. aphids, nematodes (those which attack crops) by its smell. Flowers have sufficient nectar and pollen for good bee forage. Produces high quality firewood. 

• Medicine: Liquid extracts from bark are used in the treatment of prostate enlargement. Leaves are used as an inhalant for fever, or are drunk as an infusion to improve appetite. Water is added to pounded bark, and the red liquid is used as a remedy for stomachache; bark extract may be used as a purgative for cattle. 

• Erosion control: Trees can be grown along contour ridges and terraces, provides useful shade and acts as a windbreak. 

• Soil improver: 

Leaves can be used as mulch and green manure. 

• Ornamental: It makes an attractive garden shade tree. b. Peacock Flower (Albizia gummifera) This tree is commonly found in lowland and upland rainforest and in open habitats near forests. Fresh seeds need no pre-treatment. Stored seeds are soaked in warm water and left to cool to room temperature. The seed coat may be nicked at the cotyledon end to hasten germination. Seed germination is good, 70-80%, within 10 days. Seeds should be collected while still on the tree to minimize insect damage. Seed can be stored for at least a year, if kept dry and insect free through addition of ash. Uses:

 • Bee-forage, fuel wood, timber, gum, tannin, medicine: Extracts from the crushed pods are taken for stomach pains and the bark decoction for malaria, erosion control (the root system holds soil and prevents gulley erosion). 

• Shade: Nitrogen fixing (improves the soil). Known as a good mulch tree, as leaf litter is abundant during the leaf-shedding season.

 • Ornamental: Planted in town avenues for its beauty. ENGLISH VERSION 3 Time to plant! Try these good indigenous trees. 

• Boundary planting: The leaves quicken the ripening process in bananas. c. Olea africana (African wild olive) 

This tree is found in a variety of habitats, usually near water, on stream banks, and also in open woodland. It is resistant to both frost and drought. Fresh seeds are used for sowing. Old seeds can be soaked in cold water for 48 hours. Seeds are often pre-treated by cracking with a hand vice, or by rolling a stone over seeds.This is because removing the endocarp can enhance germination. The seeds can be stored at dry room temperature for a few years. Uses:

 • Food: The main olive products are olive oil and edible olives. 

• Fodder: The plants are much browsed on by livestock. Also used for fuel, timber, charcoal, toothbrushes and ornaments. 

• Reclamation: The high drought tolerance suggests that it is a good candidate for reforestation in semi-arid zones of Africa. 

• Ornamental: Olive trees have the capacity to beautify the landscape. d. Waterberry (Syzygium guineense) This tree usually occurs in lowland rain forest and mountain rain forests. It commonly grows in moist conditions, sometimes even in water, and is usually found along streams. Seeds need no pre-sowing treatment, as germination rates are good and uniform. Rates of 80-90% are attained after 20 to 50 days. Direct sowing into pots is recommended. Fruits are perishable, hence should be picked from the ground soon after falling. They may also be collected by shaking the branches with hooks. After collection, the fruits should be sown out immediately, as seeds will lose viability if they are dried. If this is not possible, fruit can be stored for a few days in moist sawdust and open containers in well-ventilated rooms. Uses: 

• Bee forage, Timber, Fuel wood, Shade, Medicine Note: the poisonous bark has been reported to cause human deaths, so advice should be sought from people experienced in using the products for medicine from this tree. e. Melia (Melia volkensii) This termite-resistant tree provides good fodder at the end of the dry season when other fodder may be scarce, and so can be valuable for TIST farmers.The trees, open-crowned, with gray bark, may grow to a height of 6 to 20 meters. Melia is common in acacia-commiphora bush land with rainfall of 300-800 mm. It sometimes borders seasonal rivers, or wetlands, or appears on rock outcrops. It sheds its leaves twice a year and can be a good choice to plant along with crops. Melia is often started from wildlings or root cuttings, though root cuttings may produce an unstable tree. If grown from seed, the seed should be scarified using fire (fast fires, or dry grass dung), or the seed coat nicked, and then seeds soaked in water for 6 hours before planting. Uses:

 • Fodder: Excellent fodder for goats and cattle; timber; beehives. 

• Fly repellents: Leaf preparations are used as flea and fly repellents and are said to be particularly effective on goat kids.

 • Good agroforestry tree ENGLISH VERSION 4 I n 

TIST, we plant trees to take part in the carbon market and earn income from carbon offset sales. However, the other benefits of trees are enormous! Here are just a few benefits we (and the rest of the world) enjoy: ¾ Trees serve as natural habitat to support a wide variety of flora and fauna.They provide a sense of privacy and security to wildlife seeking shelter in the woods and provide them with food. Protecting biodiversity makes our farms and our planet more productive and resilient to climate change and other challenges. ¾ Trees improve the quality of air and reduce dangerous pollution. Trees remove excess carbon dioxide and air pollutants including sulfur dioxide, ozone and nitrogen oxide. In return, they give us oxygen required for life. ¾ The visual quality of a landscape is improved by planting trees, which, in turn, improves the quality of life. The greenery of trees adds color to the landscape and enhances the picturesque beauty of the environment. ¾ Trees control the climate by moderating the effects of sun, wind, and rain.They can help prevent severe floods, landslides, and wind damage. Trees moderate flood hazards by allowing the rainwater to percolate into the soil, instead of running over it. ¾ Trees reduce soil erosion.Their roots bind soil that would otherwise wash away in rainstorms and floods. Trees also help improve the fertility of soil. Rich soil transfers nutrients to food, which contributes to human health. ¾ Trees are great absorbers of noise. Noise pollution can be reduced to a great extent by planting more and more trees. ¾ 

The demand for clean drinking water can be met by planting indigenous trees. Forests and plant cover naturally slows the runoff of rainwater and filters it into the soil. Once slowed, rainwater seeps down to refill underground aquifers we depend on for our use. Trees also shade rivers, keeping water cool, and slowing its loss through evaporation. B iodiversity—the richness and variety of nature—is essential to a healthy environment. Variety is especially important for responding to change and challenges, like drought, pests, or climate change. Since biodiversity is so important, you might think that people everywhere are working to make sure we protect and preserve this natural richness. However, each day, because of our human actions, we are losing species and genetic diversity as forests are cut, wetlands are drained, and resources are overexploited. We see this loss every day. Think of how many kinds of plants, birds, and animals that you saw often when you, or your parents, were young but that are rare or gone today? There are nine million different species of organisms on our planet, and when we destroy them, it is a permanent loss for each of the seven billion people who share this ENGLISH VERSION 5 Trees make the environment better for us all. Strength in diversity: TIST protects biodiversity. M ost TIST Small Groups know 

TIST values. Still, it is important to reflect on these Values and to be sure that we all are truly living by them.The success of TIST is based on the integrity and effort of individual members within TIST. What we can achieve depends on each of us following these Values as we plant and care for our trees, take part in training and other activities, and report our results.Who is TIST? We are! Who We Are 1) We are honest. 2) We are accurate. 3) We are transparent 4) We are servants to each other. 5) We are mutually accountable to each other. 6) We are Role Models. 7) We are Volunteers. How We Do Things that other people can see 1) We do the work ourselves in Small Groups. 2) We develop and use best practices. 3) We use our head and hands. What Do We Do 1) We plant variety of trees for long–term. 2) We find ways to improve our health. 3) We practice Conservation Farming. 4) We do other projects and businesses (sustainable agriculture, nurseries, citrus growing, dairy goats and farming, chickens, bee keeping, fish ponds and fish keeping, silkworm farming, etc.). 5) We sell carbon credits. What We Create When follow these Values as we live and do business, we create something good that was not there before. 1) We create 

Team Work—by doing things this way, we end up working like a team. 2) We create Capacity—we create organization, strength, and a system that is strong. 3) We create Enjoyment—we see results, we accomplish big things that we enjoy. 4) We create Big Results—Big results in planting trees. Big results in Conservation farming and from other projects and business that we do. 5) We create Low Budget/Cost, yet we achieve big results. ENGLISH VERSION 6 planet, for our children, and for their children. TIST farmers are making a difference, working to preserve this rich diversity. Each tree we plant is an important renewable resource. Each tree we plant reduces pressure on natural, diverse forest, since we can use it instead of cutting forests for fuel wood, timber, and other products. When we plant indigenous trees, as many groups have in riparian buffer groves and thousands of TIST farmers have on their farms, we directly protect biodiversity. These diverse indigenous trees also provide habitat and food for insects, birds, and animals, many of TIST Values: The strength and foundation of TIST. which are important for pollinating our crops, eating pests, or keeping our soil healthy. TIST farmers are also sharing their knowledge about biodiversity. Farmers are being interviewed in clusters, in a pilot project to share information about biodiversity in their areas.When we learn more about the plants and animals around us, the changes in these areas, and the threats to this diversity, we can take action to preserve this amazing resource. Let’s all come together and share our knowledge, and plant indigenous trees to make a better world for all.

TIST, tunapata nguvu katika kuchukua hatua pamoja na kugawana mafanikio yetu na wengine katika vikundi vyetu vidogo, katika makundi yetu, na zaidi. Mnamo Oktoba 2016, TIST Kenya ilifanya Mkutano wake wa kwanza wa Clusters katika Jumba la Jamii la Nanyuki, mji wa Nanyuki. Wakulima wengi ambao walihudhuria waliona kwamba hii ni wazo nzuri kwa wakulima kujifunza Zaidi kuhusu TIST, kuuliza swali kuhusu shughuli za programu, kutoa maoni juu ya jinsi ya kuboresha huduma kwa wakulima, kujifunza kutoka kwa kila mmoja Mazoezi bora nakadhalika.. Baraza la Uongozi wa TIST lilichukua maoni ya wakulima. Ilipendekezwa kuwa mikutano ya Cluster ya kila mwaka itafanyika katika mikoa. Ilipendekezwa pia kuwa Makundi bora tu yanapaswa kualikwa kwenye matukio haya. Kwa hiyo, mikoa ifuatayo imependekezwa; i. Mkoa wa 1: Makundi kutoka Meru, Kirinyaga na Embu ii. Mkoa wa Embu

 2: Makundi kutoka Nyeri,Laikipia, Nyandarua, Nakuru na Narok / Bomet iii. Mkoa wa 3: Makundi kutoka Machakos, Murang’a iv.

Mkutano wa Clusters wa Mwaka: Shiriki mafanikio yako ili kufanya nguzo yako na TIST imara. KISWAHILI VERSION 3 Wakati wa Kupanda! Jaribu miti hii mizuri ya Kiasili. M iti ya kiasili ni aina ya miti ambayo imekua ndani ya Africa na inayofaana na mazingira ambayo imekulia. Yaweza kuboresha udongo na kukuvutia ndege na wadudu wenye manufaa. Miti tofauti humea vizuri zaidi katika maeneo tofauti. Kutokana na Semina za TIST na mikutano ya cluster, wahusika wa TIST wamebainisha aina nyingi za miti ya kiasili ambazo ni nzuri sana na zenye faida katika maeneo yao. Baadhi ya aina hizi zimeelezwa hapa chini, na tunashukuru Kituo cha dunia mzima cha kilimo cha Mseto (World Agroforestry Centre) kwa sababu ya maelezo kuhusu faida na ukusanyaji na maandalizi ya mbegu ili kufanikiwa. Tafadhali fikiria kupanda baadhi ya aina hizi msimu ujao wa kupanda, na utuambie baadhi ya aina bora zaidi katika eneo lako! a. 

Prunus africana Mti huu wa kiasili unapatikana sana katika hifadhi za misitu. Mbegu zipo misituni wakati wa kiangazi. Kusanya tu matunda yaliyoiva ya hudhurungi kutoka taji la mti ama ardhini. Toa rojo kwa kulowesha masaa ishirini na nne, kisha uoshe juu ya waya wenye matundu. Eneza kwa safu nyembamba katika eneo lililo na hewa na lililo na kivuli ili kukauka- lakini kwa masaa nne pekee. Mbegu haikai kwa hivyo tumia mbegu mpya. Kufungia majani yakizunguka mbegu hupunguza upotevu wa unyevu wakati wa kusafirisha na kuweka. Panda kitaluni au mifukoni moja kwa moja. Kuota huchukua wiki sita kufika nane. Matumizi: 

• Dawa ya kukimbiza wadudu waharibifu: yaweza kukimbiza wadudu waharibifu kama chawa, viwavi(ambao hushambulia mimea) kwa harufu yake. Maua yana nta na poleni tosha ya kulisha nyuki. Ina kuni bora. 

• Dawa: Rojo kutoka kwa gome hutumiwa kutibu uvimbe wa kibofu. Majani hutumiwa kuvuta ili kutibu homa ama kunywa kama njia ya kuboresha hamu ya kula. Maji huongezwa kwa gome lililopondwa na maji hayo mekundu kutumiwa kutibu maumivu ya tumbo; dondoo la gome kutumiwa kulisha ng’ombe. 

• Kuzuia mmomonyoko wa udongo: Miti yaweza kupandwa matutani, huwa na kivuli chenye manufaa na huzuia upepo. Huboresha udongo. Majani yaweza kutumiwa kufunika udongo ama kama mbolea.

 • Urembo: Huwa mti mzuri wa kivuli unaovutia katika bustani. b. Peacock Flower (Albizia gummifera) Mti huu hupatikana sanasana katika misitu ya mvua iliyo mahali tambarare au nyanda za juu na katika makazi wazi karibu na misitu. Mbegu safi hazihitaji kutibiwa kwanza. Mbegu zilizowekwa huloweshwa katima maji yenye joto na kuachwa kupata baridi kwenye joto la kawaida. Gome la mbegu laweza kuvunjwa ili kuharakisha kuota. Mbegu huota vizuri, asilimia sabini kufika themanini katika siku kumi. Mbegu zafaa kukusanywa zikiwa bado mtini ili kupunguza uharibifu wa wadudu. Mbegu yaweza kuwekwa kwa muda wa mwaka mmoja ikiwekwa ikiwa kavu na mbali na wadudu kwa njia ya kuongeza majivu. Matumizi: 

• Chakula cha nyuki, kuni, mbao, gundi, tanini, dawa (dondoo kutokana na kuponda maganda hutumiwa kumaliza uchungu wa tumbo na maji ya gome kutibu malaria), kuzuia mmomonyoko wa udongo (mizizi hushika udongo na kuzuia mmonyoko wa udongo kupitia mitaro), KISWAHILI VERSION 4

 • Kivuli, kuweka naitrojeni (huboresha udongo), hujulikana kama mti mzuri wa kufunika udongo kwa sababu majani yanayoanguka ni mengi wakati wa msimu wa kuangusha majani, 

• Urembo (Hupandwa katika miji kwa sababu ya urembo wake), 

• Kupanda mipaka, matawi huharakisha kuiva kwa ndizi. c. Olea africana (African wild olive, Kikyuyu: Mutamaiyu, Kimeru: Muthata) Mti huu hupatikana maeneo mengi, sana sana karibu na maji, mito na ata maporini. Ni sugu kwa baridi na kwa ukavu. Mbegu kutoka kwa matunda hutumika kuotesha. Mbegu nzee yaweza kuloweshwa kwa maji baridi kwa masaa arobaini na nane. Mbegu sanasana hutibiwa kwa kuvunja na kifaa au kwa kuachilia jiwe juu ya mbegu. Hii ni kwa sababu kutoa ngozi ya ndani ya mbegu husaidia kuota haraka. Mbegu huwekwa mahali pakavu na penye joto la kawaida kwa miaka michache. Matumizi: Chakula: Bidhaa kuu ya mzeituni ni mafuta na matunda yanayoliwa. Lishe: mimea hii huliwa na mifugo. Hutumika pia kama kuni, mbao, makaa, miswaki ya meno na kurembesha. Kuimarisha: kuwa sugu kwa ukavu inapendekeza kuwa mti huu waweza kutumika kuimarisha maeneo Africa yenye ukame. Kurembesha: mzeituni huweza kurembesha ardhi/mazingira. d. Waterberry (Syzygium guineense) Mti huu sana sana hupatikana misitu iliyo kwa tambarare na iliyo milimani. Hukua sana mahali penye unyevu, mara nyingine ndani ya maji na hupatikana kando ya mito Mbegu hazihitaji kutibiwa, kwani huota haraka na vizuri. Huota kwa asilimia themanini kufika tisini kwa siku za kwanza ishirini hadi hamsini. Kuotesha mifukoni hupendekezwa. Matunda huharibika kwa yanafaa kuokotwa mara moja yakishaanguka. Yanaweza pia kwa kutikisa matawi. Ukishakusanya, matunda yanafaa kuoteshwa mara moja kwani yanaweza kupoteza uwezo wake wa kuota yakikauka; kama ili haliwezekani, matunda yanaweza kuwekwa kwa siku chache kwa machujo ya mbao na ndani ya mikebe kwa chumba chenye kuingiza hewa tosha. Matumizi: Chakula (Matunda), lishe ya nyuki, mbao, kuni/makaa, kivuli, dawa(tunda utumika kutibu ugonjwa wa kuhara damu, maji ya gome nayo hutumika kuzuia ugonjwa wa kuhara). Kumbuka gome ili lenye sumu limeripotiwa kuua watu, kwa hivyo tafuta ujumbe tosha kwa watu wenye uzoefu wa kutumia bidhaa za huu mti. e. Melia (Melia volkensii) Mti huu usioliwa na mchwa ni chakula kizuri cha mifugo mwishoni mwa msimu wa kiangazi wakati vyakula vingine vinapopatikana kwa ugumu na kwa hivyo ni wenye umuhimu kwa wakulima wa TIST. Miti hii, ina taji lililofunguka, iliyo na gome la kijivu, yaweza kukua hadi urefu wa mita sita kufika ishirini. Melia ni mti unaoonekana sanasana katika vichaka vya acacia-commiphora iliyo na mvua wa milimita mia tatu kufika mia nane. Wakati mwingine inapakana na mito ya kimsimu ama mahali majimaji au kuonekana juu ya mawe yaliyotokea juu ya ardhi. Mti huu huangusha majani mara mbili kwa mwaka na waweza kuwa chaguo nzuri la kupanda pamoja na mimea Melia sana sana hukuzwa kutokana na miche iliyomea yenyewe au mizizi ikiwa imekatwa, ata kama mizizi iliyokatwa yaweza kukuza miti isiyo na nguvu. Ikikuzwa kutokana na mbegu, mbegu yafaa kuchomwa (moto wa kasi au wa nyasi iliyokauka) ama gome la mbegu linatobolewa halafu mbegu inaloweshwa majini kwa muda wa masaa sita kabla ya kupanda. Matumizi: 

• Chakula kizuri kwa mbuzi na ng’ombe; mbao; mizinga

 • Majani hutengenezwa na kutumiwa kuwafukuza chawa na nzi na husemekana kuwa nzuri zaidi kwa watoto wa mbuzi. 

• Mti mzuri wa kutumika katika kilimo mseto. KISWAHILI VERSION 5 K atika TIST, sisi hupanda miti ili kujiingiza katika soko la hewa na kupata mapato kutokana na kuuza hewa hii. Hata hivyo, faida zingine za miti ni kubwa! Zifuatazo ni faida chache ambazo sisi (pamoja na dunia yote) hufurahia: ¾ Miti hutumika kama makazi asili ya kusaidia aina nyingi za mimea na wanyama. Hupeana faragha na usalama kwa wanyama wa pori wanaotafuta makazi mitini na huwapa chakula. Kulinda bionuwai au viumbe hai hufanya mashamba yetu na sayari yetu kuwa yenye uzalishaji zaidi na pingamizi dhidi ya mabadiliko ya tabianchi(hali ya anga ya muda mrefu) na changamoto nyinginezo. ¾ Miti huboresha hewa na hupunguza uchafuzi wa hatari. Miti hutoa hewa ya kaboni ya ziada na vichafuzi vya hewa kama dioksidi sulsuri, ozoni na naitrojini yenye oksidi. Kurudisha, hutupa oksijeni inayohitajika kuishi. ¾ Ubora unaoonekana wa ardhi pia unaboreka kwa kupanda miti ambayo, inaboresha maisha. Rangi ya kijani ya miti huongeza rangi kwa ardhi na kuongeza urembo wa kipicha wa mazingira. ¾ Miti hudhibiti tabianchi kwa njia ya kupunguza athari za jua, upepo na mvua. Yaweza kusaidia kuzuia mafuriko kali, miporomoka ya ardhi, uharibifu wa upepo. Miti hupunguza madhara ya mafuriko kwa kuruhusu maji ya mvua kuingia udongoni badala ya kupita juu yake. ¾ Miti hupunguza mmomonyoko wa udongo.

 Mizizi yake hushika udongo ambao badalayake hungebebwa wakati wa dhoruba za mvua na mafuriko. Miti pia husaidia kuboresha rotuba ya udongo. Udongo wenye rotuba huhamisha virutubisho hadi kwa chakula, jambo ambalo huchangia kwa afya ya binadamu. ¾ Miti ni mizuri katika kunyonya sauti. Uchafuzi wa kelele waweza kupunguzwa sana kwa kupanda miti mingine na mingine. ¾ Mahitaji ya maji safi ya kunywa yaweza kukamilishwa kwa njia ya kupanda miti ya kiasili. Misitu na mimea hupunguza kasi ya maji ya mvua na huyachuja yanapoingia udongoni. Yanapopunguzwa kasi, maji ya mvua huingia ardhini kujaza vyanzo vya maji vilivyo chini ya maji na ambavyo tunategemea ili kuishi. Miti pia huipa mito kivuli, na kuyaacha maji kukaa baridi na kwa hivyo kupunguza kasi ya kupotea kwa maji kwa njia ya uvukizi. Miti huboresha mazingira kwa ajili yetu sote. Bionuwai—utajiri na aina mbali mbali za maumbile—ni muhimu kwa mazingira yenye afya. Aina mbali mbali ni muhimu sana kwa kubaliana na mabadiliko na changamoto, kama ukame, wadudu na mabadiliko ya tabia nchi. Kwa sababu bionuwai ni muhimu sana, waweza kufikiria kuwa watu kila mahali wanafanya kazi kuhakikisha kuwa tunalinda na kuhifadhi utajiri huu wa kiasili. Hata hivyo, kila siku, kwa sababu ya matendo ya binadamu, tunapoteza spici na aina za maumbile misitu inapokatwa, ardhi pevu kukaushwa na rasilimali kutumiwa kupita kiasi. Tunaona upotevu huu kila siku. Fikiria ni aina ngapi za mimea, ndege na wanyama ambazo uliona mara nyingi wakati wewe au wazazi wako walipokuwa wachanga lakini leo ni chache au zimeisha? Kuna spici milioni tisa za viumbile tofauti katika sayari yetu, na tunapoziharibu, ni hasara ya kudumu kwa kila mmoja wa watu bilioni saba wanaogawana hii sayari, kwa watoto wetu na kwa watoto wao. 

Nguvu katika Utofauti: TIST hulinda bionuwai. KISWAHILI VERSION 6 V ikundi vidogo vya TIST vyajua maadili ya TIST. Bado, ni muhimu kuyafikiria haya maadili na kuhakikisha kuwa tunayafuayilia kiukweli. Kufanikiwa kwa TIST kunazingatia uadilifu na juhudi ya kila mwanaTIST. Tunayoweza kufikia kutategemeana na kila mmoja wetu kufuatilia haya maadili tunapopanda na kuihudumia miti yetu, tunapojiunga na mafunzo na mambo mengine na kuripoti matokeo yetu.TIST ni nani? Ni sisi! Sisi ni 1) Sisi ni Waaminifu 2) Sisi huwa sahihi 3) Sisi ni wenye Uwazi 4) Sisi ni watumishi kwa kila mmoja wetu 5) Sisi ni wenye kuwajibika kati yetu wenyewe 6) Sisi ni mfano wa kuigwa 7) Sisi ni wenye kujitolea Tunavyofanya mambo ambayo wengine wanaona. 1) Tunafanya kazi wenyewe katika vikundi vidogo. 2) Tunaanzisha na kutumia njia bora zaidi za kufanya mambo. 3) Tunatumia vichwa na mikono yetu. Tunayofanya 1) Tunapanda miti ya aina mbali mbali kwa muda mrefu. 2) Tunapata njia za kuboresha afya yetu. 3) Tunalima na njia ya Kilimo Hai. 4) Tunafanya miradi na biashara ( kilimo endelevu, vitalu, kukuza matunda ya jamii ya machungwa, mbuzi wa maziwa na ukulima, kuku, nyuki, mabwawa ya samaki na kuweka samaki, kulima buu na kadhalika ) zingine 5) Tunauza hewa tunayosafisha. Tunayojenga Tukiyafuatilia haya maadili tunavyoishi na kufanya biashara, tunajenga kitu kizuri ambacho hakikuwa hapo mbeleni. 1) Tunapata Kujenga kazi ya pamoja —Kwa kufanya hivi, tunaishia kufanya kazi kama timu. 2) Tunapata kujenga uwezo—Tunajenga ushirika, nguvu na mfumo ulio na nguvu 3) Tunapata kujifurahia—tunaona matokeo, tunafikia mambo makubwa tunayofurahia. 4) Tunapata matokeo makubwa—Matokeo makubwa katika kupanda miti. Matokeo makubwa katika Kilimo Hai na katika miradi na biashara zingine tunazofanya 5) 

Tunapata kutumia gharama nafuu, hata kama tunapata matokeo makubwa Maadili ya TIST: Nguvu na msingi wa TIST. Wakulima katika TIST wanaleta mabadiliko, wakifanya kazi kuhifadhi utajiri huu wa kiaina. Kila mti tunaopanda ni asilimali inayoweza kutumika tena na tena. Kila mti tunaopanda hupunguza shinikizo kwa misitu ya kiasili yenye aina mbalimbali kwa sababu twaweza kuitumia badala ya kukata misitu ili kupata kuni, mbao na bidhaa zingine. Tunapopanda miti ya kiasili, kama vikundi vingi vilivyofanya katika mashamba yaliyo kando ya mito na vijito na maelfu ya wakulima wa TIST waaliyonayo katika mashamba yao, tunalinda bionuwai moja kwa moja. Aina hizi nyingi za miti ya kiasili pia huwapa wadudu, ndege na wanyama makazi na chakula, wengi wa wale ni muhimu katika kuchavua mimea yetu, kuwala wadudu waharibifu au kuweka udongo ukiwa na afya. Wakulima katika TIST pia wanagawana maarifa kuhusu bionuwai. Wakulima wanaulizwa maswali katika cluster katika mpango wa kuanzisha wa kugawana habari kuhusu bionuwai katika maeneo yao. Tunaposoma mengine kuhusu mimea na wanyama wanaotuzunguka, mabadiliko katika maeneo haya na hatari dhidi ya wingi wa aina, twaweza kuchukua hatua kuhifadhi rasilimali hii ya kuajabisha. Tujeni sote pamoja, na tugawane maarifa tuliyonayo, na tupande miti ya kiasili ili kuwe na dunia bora kwetu sote. Published by TIST-Kenya.
