Podcast appearances and mentions of Wangari Maathai

Cet épisode a été réalisé en co-création avec la Fondation Yves Rocher, merci à eux de soutenir le podcast ! Jacques Rocher a grandi à La Gacilly, petit village breton situé dans le Morbihan. En 1991, aux côtés de son père Yves Rocher, il fonde la Fondation Yves Rocher pour agir concrètement en faveur de la nature. Trente-cinq ans plus tard, cette fondation, désormais reconnue d'utilité publique, est devenue un acteur majeur de la préservation de la biodiversité. Chaque année, la Fondation Yves Rocher soutient et permet le développement d'une multitude de projets engagés à travers le monde. Dans cet épisode, Jacques revient sur son parcours et les rencontres qui ont marqué sa vie : Wangari Maathai, Sadguru, le chef Raoni… Il nous parle du sommet de la Terre de 1992 à Rio, de ses séjours en forêt amazonienne mais aussi des actions locales menées en Bretagne, en Inde ou au Togo. Ensemble, nous explorons les grands programmes de la Fondation : Plant for Life, Terre de Femmes ou encore le Festival Photo La Gacilly, devenu un rendez-vous incontournable entre art, écologie et sensibilisation.Au fil de la conversation, Jacques nous partage sa vision de l'engagement : rester dans l'action, tisser des liens sincères avec celles et ceux qui œuvrent sur le terrain et transmettre toujours. Il nous rappelle que planter un arbre, c'est plus qu'un geste symbolique : c'est un acte de foi en l'avenir, un héritage pour les générations futures. Un immense merci à la Fondation Yves Rocher pour leur confiance dans la réalisation de cet épisode.

Wangari Maathai was not just a name; she was a blazing beacon of hope, a fierce warrior for the earth, a relentless advocate for justice in every leaf and every tree. From the heart of Kenya, she rose, weaving a tapestry of life and resilience through her groundbreaking Green Belt Movement. With every seed planted, she breathed life into the soil, intertwining the fight for environmental conservation with a passionate plea for human dignity. Her indomitable spirit shone brightly when she was honored with the Nobel Peace Prize in 2004, a monumental moment that made her the first African woman to grasp this prestigious accolade. Wangari's legacy will forever resonate, a stirring reminder that one person's love for the planet can ignite a global movement.

Wangari Maathai war die erste Frau des afrikanischen Kontinents, die mit dem Friedensnobelpreis ausgezeichnet worden ist. Mit dem Pflanzen von Bäumen verhalft sie nicht nur Frauen zu mehr Einkommen und Selbstbestimmung, sondern sie verteidigte mit Hilfe ihres Umweltprojekts auch die Demokratie.

We continue the story of Nobel Prize winning environmentalist Dr Wangari Maathai, who defied convention, financial hurdles, and the violent opposition of her own government to make her Green Belt Movement into an enduring worldwide force for societal good. She and her colleagues planted almost 40 million trees and empowered tens of thousands of women across the world to discover their own power to improve their own communities… from the ground up.

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.

Russia in World History: A Transnational Approach (Bloomsbury, 2022) uses a comparative framework to understand Russian history in a global context. The book challenges the idea of Russia as an outlier of European civilization by examining select themes in modern Russian history alongside cases drawn from the British Empire. Choi Chatterjee analyzes the concepts of nation and empire, selfhood and subjectivity, socialism and capitalism, and revolution and the world order in the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries. In doing so she rethinks many historical narratives that bluntly posit a liberal West against a repressive, authoritarian Russia. Instead Chatterjee argues for a wider perspective which reveals that imperial practices relating to the appropriation of human and natural resources were shared across European empires, both East and West. Incorporating the stories of famous thinkers, such as Leo Tolstoy, Emma Goldman, Wangari Maathai, Arundhati Roy, among others. This unique interpretation of modern Russia is knitted together from the varied lives and experiences of those individuals who challenged the status quo and promoted a different way of thinking. This is a ground-breaking book with big and provocative ideas about the history of the modern world, and will be vital reading for students of both modern Russian and world history.

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

Every generation throws up a maverick - and Africa has had many! Laila introduces Cai to Wangari Maathai, who rewrote the rules for environmentalism in east Africa, and faced down stiff resistance in the process. Cai looks back to Cameroon's colonial era leader Njoya Ibrahim, a man of many talents who could have been anything - but, above all, achieved the status of an African hero.

The first song in today's Earth Riot asks, "What did they do to the great outdoors?". The Fabulous Unknown would be a better description of the natural world than the “great outdoors”. The word "Great"— how can we decolonize that word and heal from there?   Some people who have been called "Great" also seem to have The Fabulous Unknown of the natural world in them. Wangari Maathai, Muhammad Ali, Che Guevera, and all the unknown revolutionaries who gave their lives for our freedom create our beloved ecosystem. The Unknown has eyes we need to see through and ears that allow us to listen. That's why both making love and making justice feel so good.

Africa is responsible for only less than 4% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Yet its people are already suffering some of the world's most devastating climate impacts.
