Nthoani Forest is a dense forest located in Kitui, Kenya, covering an area of approximately 1,500 hectares. The forest is situated on the eastern slopes of the Yatta Plateau and is characterized by a variety of indigenous tree species, including Acacia, Commiphora, and Combretum. The forest is an important water catchment area, and several streams originate from it, supplying water to the surrounding communities.

Nthoani forest is home to a variety of wildlife, including elephants, buffaloes, monkeys, and antelopes. It is also a haven for birdwatchers, with over 200 bird species recorded in the area. The forest is managed by the Kenya Forest Service, which has established several trails for visitors to explore the forest.

The forest faces a range of threats, including illegal logging, charcoal burning, and encroachment for agriculture. To address these challenges, the Kenya Forest Service has implemented several conservation strategies, including planting of tree seedlings, community outreach programs, and enforcement of forest laws. Through these efforts, the forest is slowly regaining its lost glory and contributing to the conservation of biodiversity in the region.
