Maathai's Final Journey

Kenya's Nobel laureate Wangari Maathai has died in Nairobi while undergoing cancer treatment. She was 71. She won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2004 for promoting conservation, women's rights and transparent government - the first African woman to get the award. Maathai was an elected Member of Parliament and served as an Assistant Minister for Environment and Natural Resources in President Mwai Kibaki's government between January 2003 and November 2005. Ms Maathai founded the Green Belt Movement, which has planted 20-30 million trees in Africa. 'Role model and heroine' "It is with great sadness that the family of Professor Wangari Maathai announces her passing away on 25 September, 2011, at the Nairobi Hospital, after a prolonged and bravely borne struggle with cancer," the Green Belt Movement said in a statement. "Her loved ones were with her at the time. "Professor Maathai's departure is untimely and a very great loss to all who knew her - as a mother, relative, co-worker, colleague, role model, and heroine; or who admired her determination to make the world a more peaceful, healthier, and better place." The organisation did not provide further details. Ms Maathai, who was a professor of veterinary anatomy, rose to international fame for campaigns against government-backed forest clearances in Kenya in the late 1980s-90s. Under the former government of President Daniel Arap Moi, she was arrested several times, and vilified. In 2008, Ms Maathai was tear-gassed during a <b>...</b>

Her legacy is tremendous: A Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, environmental campaigner, campaigner against poverty, campaigner for women's rights, for the empowerment of women and campaigner for access to clean drinking water...the result is equally staggering: she was the founder of the Green Belt Movement in Kenya through which women in rural communities planted trees to increase their quality of life. By establishing tree nurseries and plantations, these women insured greater access to drinking water (as the trees created ecosystems which retained water in the soil, also combating deforestation) and also provided themselves with more firewood for cooking. She was the first African woman and the first environmentalist to win the Nobel peace Prize (2004). Wangari Maathai was born in 1940 in the Nyeri District in Kenya's Central Highlands. She was educated in Kenya and the USA and was the first woman in central/eastern Africa to receive a doctorate degree - from the University of Nairobi - in 1971. In 2002 she was elected to the Kenyan Parliament and rose to the position of Assistant Minister for the Environment and Natural Resources. "Her passing is a loss for the people of Kenya and the world... a globally recognized champion for human rights and women's empowerment" and a "pioneer in articulating the links between human rights, poverty, environmental protection and security."
