Wangari Maathai and the green belt movement
This volume recounts the life and achievements of Wangari Maathai, the Kenyan scholar, environmental activist, and founder of the Green Belt Movement. Established in 1977, the movement mobilized communities—especially women—to plant millions of trees, combat environmental degradation, and promote sustainable livelihoods. Maathai's holistic vision connected ecological protection with human rights, democratic governance, and peace, making her a leading global voice for environmental justice. Awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2004, she became an enduring symbol of grassroots action and transformative leadership.
Part of the Women in African History series, this book highlights the powerful role of African women in shaping social change, defending rights, and advancing environmental stewardship across the continent and beyond.
