Wangari Maathai understood the vital connections between living things and the Earth; of local communities and the wider world. It is true that many trees make a mighty forest, and Maathai's Green Belt Movement made it clear to us all that the most important change for the greater good is one that each individual makes in their own backyard... a philosophy which would earn her the Nobel Peace Prize.

Hoje é dia do "Influencers da Ciência", um Spin-Off do podcast "Intervalo de Confiança". Neste programa trazemos o nome de Influencers que de fato trouxeram algo de positivo para a sociedade, aqueles que expandiram as fronteiras do conhecimento científico e hoje permitiram o desenvolvimento de diversas áreas. Nesse episódio, Sofia Massaro nos conta a história da cientista de ativista ambiental Wangari Maathai, mulher queniana que deixou um legado inegável em sua luta pela conservação ambiental e desenvolvimento sustentável. Ela se tornou a primeira mulher da África Oriental e Central a conquistar um doutorado, um marco significativo que sublinhava sua dedicação à ciência e à educação. Como fundadora do Movimento Cinturão Verde em 1977, Maathai combinou seu conhecimento científico com ações práticas ao liderar a plantação de mais de 51 milhões de árvores no Quênia, abordando questões de erosão do solo, desertificação e pobreza rural. Sua abordagem inovadora em integrar a ciência ambiental com o ativismo social lhe rendeu o Prêmio Nobel da Paz em 2004, tornando-a a primeira mulher africana a receber tal honra. Wangari Maathai permanece uma figura inspiradora, destacando-se como cientista, ativista e pioneira na luta pelo meio ambiente e justiça social e, por isso, ela é nossa homenageada no programa de hoje.A Pauta foi escrita por Tatiane do Vale.

“The work of the Green Belt Movement stands as a testament to the power of grassroots organizing, proof that one person's simple idea—that a community should come together to plant trees—can make a difference, first in one village, then in one nation, and now across Africa.”—President Barack Obama #storytime #biographies #childrensstories #childrensbook #readaloud #readaloudtokids #readaloudtochildren #readaloudstorybooks #reading #elementaryschoolreaders #booksforchildren #booksforblackchildren #goodchildrensbooks Wangari Muta Maathai (April 1, 1940 – September 25, 2011) was an internationally renowned political, environmental and social activist. In 1971, she became the first woman in both East and Central Africa to earn a doctorate (University of Nairobi). In 2004, Maathai became the first African woman as well as environmentalist to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. During her lifetime, Maathai worked tirelessly to end the devastation of Kenya's forests and lands caused by development. In 1977, she founded “The Green Belt Movement”, a non-governmental organization focused on environmental conservation, planting trees and women's rights. Maathai conducted seminars about civic and environmental education and taught women the power of collaboration for peace, economic sustainability and democracy. "Women needed income and they needed resources because theirs were being depleted," Maathai explained to People magazine. "So we decided to solve both problems together." Because of Maathai's leadership, sacrifice, and commitment, more than 30 million trees have been planted in Kenya. Moreover, over 30,000 women have been empowered with new skills and opportunities. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/avant-garde-books/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/avant-garde-books/support

La keniana Wangari Muta Maathai è stata la prima donna africana a vincere, nel 2004, il Premio Nobel per la pace, per “il suo contributo allo sviluppo sostenibile, alla democrazia e alla pace”. Per la prima volta, dandole questo premio, il comitato per il Nobel ha inoltre tracciato un collegamento tra ambiente, pace e diritti delle donne. Con il Green Belt Movement, Wangari ha piantato decine di milioni di alberi in tutta l'Africa Orientale e ha ispirato iniziative ambientaliste che hanno decisamente anticipato i tempi. Ma non solo, ha avuto anche il coraggio di criticare la corruzione, pagando con violenze, diffamazione e carcere.Ospite della puntata: Anna Pozzi

Wangari Muta Maathai ist eigentlich Biologin, bekannt ist sie allerdings für ihr politisches Engagement in Kenia, dort vor allem im Bereich Umwelt.

This week we're bringing back one of our favorite climate-activist-Broads to help us celebrate Earth day! Chloe (fka Justin) brings us the story of a woman who not only won the Nobel Prize for founding a movement that planted over 20 MILLION trees worldwide, but also brought Democracy to Kenya… but it took nearly her entire life to do it. After earning her doctorate, she first got involved as an activist for Women's rights and politics. After an unfounded scandal brought forth from her ex husband, she lost her job, her home, and had to start again. The story is filled with tragedy but ultimately ends in an uplifiting message to never, ever give up. Wangari is an inspiration to many, and is absolutely a broad you owe it to yourself to get to know.

The late Wangari Maathai was a biologist, environmentalist, and the first African woman to win a Nobel Peace Prize. She was born under British colonial occupation and schooled by Catholic missionaries. But when she looked back on her childhood near the end of her life, she realized her family’s Kikuyu culture had imparted her with an intuitive sense of environmental balance. Maathai was steadfast in her determination to fight for the twin issues of conservation and human rights — and planting trees was a symbol of defiance. Wangari Maathai founded the global Green Belt Movement, which has contributed today to the planting of over 52 million trees. She was the 2004 recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. Her books include the memoir “Unbowed” and “Replenishing the Earth: Spiritual Values for Healing Ourselves and the World.” She’s also one of the 100 heroic women featured in the book “Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls.” She died in 2011 at the age of 71.

Welcome to Audible Café, where we get together to talk about nature, wildlife, wilderness, conservation, environmental protection, climate change, and things related. Today, I’m airing my interview with Jennifer Browdy, who is a writer, teacher, editor, and coach. She is deeply committed to opening up conversations in person and online that are relevant to our times, and to helping others find expression through their writing. Memoir is a grassroots sort of genre, inviting anyone and everyone to tease out the significance of the ordinary moments that, day by day, compose a life. Jennifer Browdy Jennifer’s books include “What I Forgot….and Why I Remembered: A Journey to Environmental Awareness and Activism Through Purposeful Memoir”published in 2017, which was a Finalist in Autobiography/Memoir in the 2018 International Book Awards. Jennifer also wrote the companion book for writers of purposeful memoir, which was a winner of a 2017 Nautilus Silver Award for creative process. Prior to that, she was co-editor with Jana Laiz and Sahra Bateson Brubeck of "Writing Fire: An Anthology Celebrating the Power of Women’s Words." All three of these books were published by Green Fire Press, an independent publishing company that Jennifer runs with her business partner, Jana Laiz. Earlier in her career, Jennifer edited two powerful compilations of women writing resistance. Her current project - called “Worldwrights” - a term Jennifer coined - will distill “lessons in life and leadership” from 15 inspiring writer-activists who have used writing to right the world, and who have also written memoirs. I can’t wait for that book to come out, because Jennifer has chosen a number of outstanding leaders from social and environmental justice movements for this project, including former President Barack Obama, Jane Goodall, Eve Ensler, Audre Lorde, Wangari Maathai, Rigoberta Menchu, Malidoma Some, Sandra Steingraber, Terry Tempest Williams, John Perkins, and more. I talked with Jennifer earlier this month while she was still on her summer writing retreat. I appreciate her taking the time to talk with me when that kind of time away from the day-to-day grind is so precious.

The Freedom Train Network is celebrating black women for the entire month of May. So we will be celebrating and teaching you about great black women of the African diaspora. This episode we are focusing on Professor Wangari Muta Maathai.​Wangari Muta Maathai was born on April 1st, 1940 in the village of Ihithe in the Nyeri District of Kenya. Around 1943 her family moved to a White-owned farm where her father had found work, she lived there until 1947 when her mother returned to Ihithe so [...]

Dr. Mathaai was an internationally renowned Kenyan environmental political activist became the first African woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for "her contribution to sustainable development, democracy and peace." Maathai was an elected member of Parliament and served as assistant minister for Environment and Natural resources. But wouldn't you know it, her (ex)husband and the judge had some opinions about her role as "wife."

Growing North is a disruptive social venture. They are also a finalist in the Google.org Impact Challenge. Growing North has the seeds of disruption and reminds me of the work of Wangari Maathai. Wangari Maathai was the first African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Maathai started a movement that encouraged women to plant trees as and approach to mitigating deforestation and food security within their communities. This grassroots group became a movement known as the Green Belt movement. What was remarkable about that story, was that it was framed as women planting trees, but the magic sauce was in the relationships that were formed when women came together. Planting together. When they were planting they would talk. They got to know each other. They built community. It was through these relationships that Maathai was able to mobilize women to contribute to democracy and fight for their rights.What Stefany Nieto and her team are doing in the North is similar to the Green Belt movement. On a practical level they are providing food for a community, but more importantly, they are providing a space that strengthens the social fabric of the communities they are working in. This is why I voted for them in the Google.org Impact Challenge. Not only has Stefany and her team found a way to grow food in one of the most inhospitable conditions on the planet. They helping to strengthen the social fabric of the community. When the community builds a greenhouse together or grows food all year together, they are strengthening the social fabric of their community. This is the disruption. Most people only think of the technological side of disruption, but for Growing North strengthening the social fabric is a major part of the solution and their approach. The problem in the north of Canada is that perishable food is flown in and when it get to these communities is not only expensive but is often rotten. Stefany and her team are disrupting the supply chain and growing food in the north. Growing North’s mission is to sustainably provide fresh, locally grown produce to families living in Northern Canada, at a fraction of the current price, while positively contributing to the educational infrastructure and job market. The part I love the most about this project is not the elegant technological solution, but the social fabric that they are fostering around their technology. Stefany and her team have worked hard to help build a community around these igloo shaped greenhouses. They have developed coop programs so students can get credits while they learn how to grow food. They have focused on using their technology to bolster the social fabric in the community and that is why I voted for them in the Google.org Impact Challenge.

Nobel Prize winner, Green Belt Movement founder, and this year’s recipient of the Nichols-Chancellor’s medal, Wangari Maathai, gave students an inspirational call to action at this year’s senior day address. Hear from Maathai and the graduates.

Wangari Muta Maathai is the founder of the Green Belt Movement, which, through networks of rural women, has planted over 30 million trees across Kenya since 1977. In 2002, she was elected to Kenya's Parliament in the first free elections in a generation, and in 2003 was appointed Assistant Minister for Environment, Natural Resources, and Wildlife. The Nobel Peace Prize laureate of 2004, she is the author of Unbowed: A Memoir, and speaks to organizations around the world. Her newest book, The Challenge for Africa addresses the intricacies of African issues, such as the lack of technological developments, the absence of fair international trade, population pressures and enduring hunger, and the dearth of genuine political and economic leadership. Maathai stresses the need for Africans to invent and implement their own solutions, rather than relying on foreign aid and Western visions of change, and calls for a revolution in leadership on both a political and individual level.

Wangari Maathai is a Kenyan politician and environmental activist who was awarded the 2004 Nobel Prize for Peace, the first black African woman to win a Nobel Prize. Maathai was elected to Kenya's National Assembly with 98 percent of the vote in 2002 and in 2003 was appointed assistant minister of environment, natural resources, and wildlife. She is the author of "The Green Belt Movement: Sharing the Approach and the Experience". Co-sponsors: The Division of the Humanities and Rockefeller Chapel.
