Summary

Summary

Born in the Aberdare Mountains in Kenya in 1940, Maathai grew up in a close-knit Kikuyu community where food, fresh water and fuel were plentiful. As postwar colonialism brought with it European crops and farming methods, the enviromental balance was disrupted. This title talks about one womans struggle to save the trees.
