description To counter the land's diminishing vitality and promote a better path forward, professor Wangari Maathai of the University of Nairobi founded the Green Belt Movement (GBM), a communitybased organization that used tree planting to revitalize the soil, protect watersheds, provide fuel and improve nutrition for those most in need. In 2004, Maathai became the first African woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for her struggle for democracy, human rights and environmental conservation. In recent years the GBM has shifted its focus to landscape-level initiatives, using improved geographic information systems (GIS) technologies and accounting strategies from the Kyoto Protocol's Clean Development Mechanism to offset greenhouse gases.
