The Green Belt Movement Sharing the Approach and the Experience

I need to read this (along with 10-15 more different books) for my grad school final project. Easy to follow and well-structured. This is the account of the GBM's Phase I of the implementation (1977-1999), so nothing fancy like dismantling the tyranny government and such (that came later). The first phase was all about planting trees to rejuvenate the ecosystem, harvest water, and combat the recurring food security issues in East Africa. The connectedness between man and nature. How destruction could disproportionately impact us based on ethnicity, race, gender, and class, you name it. I've learned so much! I love the charisma, the confidence, and the intimidating-yet-inspiring nature of Dr. Maathai. A great role model for both young and old girls alike out there who ever dream of making a change!
