Maathai is the first environmentalist as well as the first African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize. She was awarded the prize for her work to protect Africa\u2019s forests by planting trees, recognizing that \u201cPeace on earth depends on our ability to secure our living environment.\u201d She is a founder of the Green Belt Movement, a partner program of the Marion Institute for close to ten years.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Since its inception, the Green Belt Movement has championed the cause of environmental protection under its mission to mobilize communities for self-determination, justice, equity, poverty reduction and environmental conservation, using trees as the entry point. Today it has over 60 community networks across Kenya that care for 6,000 tree nurseries and has planted more than 30 million trees to date.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
