"You cannot protect the environment unless you empower people, you inform them, and you help them understand that these resources are their own." – Wangari Maathai
Wangari Maathai (1940–2011) was a Kenyan environmentalist and the first Black African woman to win a Nobel Prize. She founded the Green Belt Movement in Kenya, which has planted millions of trees worldwide to combat deforestation and empower local communities.
