Wangari Maathai legacy continues to inspire humanity

This week marks the third anniversary of the death of one of Kenya’s and the world’s guiding lights - a woman with a vision of social justice through environmental integrity, and an infectious determination to make that vision a reality.

Wangari Maathai was an advocate, a champion, a leader, and an individual with an immovable resolve to protect one of our planet’s most prized possessions – trees. It is easy to feel the gap that such a luminary leaves behind. After all, Prof Maathai’s achievements are truly remarkable.
