“Taking Root: The Vision of Wangari Maathai”
2004 Nobel Peace Prize winner Dr. Wangari Muta Maathai, one of the greatest environmentalists of our time, has just passed at age 71 from cancer.
I’m stunned. What an incredible woman, what an important message.
“The essential role of the environment is still marginal in discussions about poverty. While we continue to debate these initiatives, environmental degradation, including the loss of biodiversity and topsoil, accelerates, causing development efforts to falter.” - Maathai via UNEP
