Today we celebrate a true pioneer! 🌍

#HISTORYTODAY: In 2004, the extraordinary Wangari Maathai became the first African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.

She was honored for her contribution to sustainable development, democracy, and peace, largely through the incredible work of the Green Belt Movement in Kenya, which has planted over 51 million trees! 🌳

Her legacy reminds us that environmental stewardship is fundamentally linked to peace and human rights. Honor her by committing to a small, positive action for the environment today!
