Read Explanation:
Wangari Maathai received the Nobel Prize for peace in 2004.
In 1977, Professor Wangari Maathai, under the leadership of the National Council of Women of Kenya (NCWK), established the Green Belt Movement.
Kenyan women responded that rivers were drying up, food security was declining, and they had to walk longer distances to collect fire-wood for fuel and fencing.
The Green Belt Movement (GBM) encouraged women to work together to collect rainwater, grow saplings, and plant trees for food and fuel.
