Wangari Maathai and the Trees of Kenya: A Story of Courage and Conservation

Wangari Maathai was born in Kenya in 1940. She grew up in a rural village, where she learned from a young age the importance of trees. Trees provided food, medicine, and shelter, and they helped to protect the soil and water.

In the 1970s, Maathai founded the Green Belt Movement, a grassroots organization that planted millions of trees across Kenya. The Green Belt Movement empowered local communities to protect their environment and improve their livelihoods.

Maathai's work had a profound impact on Kenya. She helped to raise awareness of the importance of trees, and she inspired a new generation of environmental activists. She was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2004 for her work.

'Wangari Maathai and the Trees of Kenya' is a biography of this extraordinary woman. The book tells the story of her life and work, and it highlights the importance of environmental conservation.
