Answer 2

The dedication of Wangari Maathai to saving forests in Kenya had led to death threats, whipping and beatings, but she was rewarded for her efforts in 2004 when she first awarded the Nobel Peace Prize to African women

Explanation:

• She was involved in environmental and humanitarian organisations including Kenya's National Women's Council in the 1970s. She spoke to rural women under her auspices, who told her about Kenyans in poorer environmental and social conditions. Firewood was lacking, clean water scarce, nutritious food was difficult to get through.
• Maathai saw deforestation as a core problem. The remedy was to plant trees to protect water shelves and stabilise the earth, apart from the provision of wood, fodder and closed materials.
• In 1977 Maathai launched the Green Belt movement to plant trees in rural Kenya in order to prevent the damage to the lives and environment of poor people, particularly women.
• In the 1980s and 1990s her party expanded to include wider movements for social, economic and political reform and initiated a collision course with the then President's government, Daniel arap Moi.
• She was physically attacked at least three times during her activist years, including by police during a hunger strike in 1992, when clubbed unconsciously. The "mad woman" who was a security threat in Kenya was called by Arap Moi.
• The latter half of the 1980s, the Kenyan government came down against Maathai and her  Green Belt Movement. The single-party regime opposed severak  of the movement's positions as regards democratic rights. The government invoked a colonial-era law prohibiting groups of more than nine people from meeting without a govt. license
