Where Science Meets Sacred History

Did you know the Mugumo tree grows from the top down? Its seeds land high in a host tree, sending massive roots downward until they completely take over, forming an incredible, self-sustaining microclimate.

For generations, Kikuyu elders protected these trees, using them as natural sanctuaries for prayer and sacrifice. Today, standing right on the equator looking toward Mount Kenya, this giant is teaching us a powerful lesson about indigenous wisdom and how nature always reclaims its balance.

Watch the full discussion with my colleagues Anthony, Mary, and Steve on YouTube as we dive deeper into ecology, conservation, and climate resilience in celebration of World Environment Day.
