Despite the existing legislations, the access of the forest terrains by persons with disabilities (PWDs) remains unaddressed due to lack of inclusive standardized guidelines. Under this premise, the objective of the study is to establish the existence of inclusive forest access policies in Kenya, as well as explore best practices that can be incorporated on inclusive regulations for forests without boundaries. The study will use an online survey to collect primary data and synthesize the literature to ascertain the extent to which PWDs can access forest landscapes and terrains. The findings of this study will be beneficial to various stakeholders in the forest management sector: Kenya Wildlife Service, Kenya Forest Service, development agencies and all stakeholders within the forestry sector.
