'Taking Root: The Vision of Wangari Maathai' Screening

Join us for a screening of ‘Taking Root: The Vision of Wangari Maathai’ over Zoom and/or in Axinn 229!  

“Taking Root tells the dramatic story of Kenyan Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Wangari Maathai whose simple act of planting trees grew into a nationwide movement to safeguard the environment, protect human rights, and defend democracy—a movement for which this charismatic woman became an iconic inspiration.” 

The Green Belt Movement offers an outstanding example of community-led conservation and its health implications. Its founder, Wangari Maathai, is a source of inspiration for the work of our partners at Conservation Heritage -Turambe!
