Another excellent interview on "Speaking of Faith". Wangari Maathai is not only the recent Nobel Peace Prize winner for her work developing the Green Belt Movement in Kenya but also, little mentioned, helped found the Mazingira Green Party of Kenya.

Planting the Future - Wangari Maathai - Speaking of Faith - 24 Apr 08

"A riveting Kenyan environmentalist and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, Wangari Maathai founded the Green Belt Movement — a grassroots organization that empowers African women to improve their lives and conserve the environment through planting trees. She knows what many in the West have forgotten — that ecological crises are often the hidden root causes of war. Maathai speaks about the global balance of human and natural resources, and she shares her thoughts on where God resides."
