Green Belt Movement in Kenya |

||||||
| The Green Belt Movement in Kenya has planted some 30 million trees in a grassroots reforestation effort. Kenyan activist Wangari Maathai spearheaded the tree-planting effort in 1977, and it has since spread to other parts of Africa as part of the Pan African Green Belt Network. Maathai was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2004 for her environmental activism. | ||||||
