Wangari Maathai's burial

Plans are underway to set up a memorial within Nairobi's Karura forest in honor of Nobel laureate Wangari Maathai. A memorial service will be held in the city tomorrow as funeral arrangements continue to be made. Professor Maathai's family has, however, not divulged when and where she will be buried or even how, given that she was strongly against the cutting down of trees to build coffins. Meanwhile, world leaders and people from all walks of life continued to pass messages of condolence.
