Скачать или смотреть Planting Trees in Kenya - Legacy of Wangari Maathai

Through centuries forests in Kenya have been cut, but from 1970s to 2019 52-53 million indigenous trees have been planted by Green Belt Movement, founded by the farmer daughter and professor Wangari Maathai, educated in US in Biology. She was working together with rural women making a lot of seedlings from indigenous trees and transplanted them to new trees, which was reacted to by force and soldier’s killings from Kenya's old dictator Moi. Much later Wangari Maathai was awarded the Nobel Peace Price in Oslo 2004 and Wangari died in 2011. Now all Kenyans love Wangari and are remembering her deeply. All Kenyans are proud to plant trees. University students are studying forestry and working together with schools and teachers, and school children learn to plant and take care of trees.
