About this audiobook
Wangari Maathai, a Kenyan woman, planted trees to help save the environment in Africa. She started the Green Belt Movement, which first assisted thousands of women in Kenya to plant trees. Women in other countries in Africa took notice, and they too started planting trees. In 2004 Wangari Maathai became the first African woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize.
