Wangari Maathai

Many Kenyans referred to her as “Mama Trees”. Kenya's former president, Daniel Arap Moi, referred to her as a “subversive”. Via her economic development campaigns, she made a difference in the lives of over 900,000 people. She was imprisoned and physically abused for opposing the construction of a skyscraper in the center of one of Nairobi's few remaining public green spaces. She was the first African feminist and the first environmental activist to win the Nobel Peace Prize in 2004. She did a lot of "little things."

We owe it to ourselves and to the next generation to conserve the environment so that we can bequeath our children a sustainable world that benefits all.

You cannot protect the environment unless you empower people, you inform them, and you help them understand that these resources are their own, that they must protect them.

I’m very conscious of the fact that you can’t do it alone. It’s teamwork. When you do it alone, you run the risk that when you are no longer there nobody else will do it.

Wangari Maathai
