The Kenya Forest Service (KFS) will now earn hundreds of millions of shillings in carbon credit for offsetting carbon dioxide from the atmosphere after it inked a deal with BDO, a global audit and accounting firm.

The firm said that it will pay KFS and the East African Wildlife Society (EAWS) $15 (Sh1,703.25) for one tonne of carbon removed from the atmosphere through trees.
