Our Trees for the 21st Century patch features Dr. Wangari Maathai, awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for her efforts towards democracy, human rights, and environmental conservation. Over the past 30 years, with both public and private support, Dr. Maathai’s Greenbelt Movement has planted over 30 million trees in Kenya, Africa. In 2006, Wangari challenged ERTHNXT to plant one billion trees worldwide, which became the inspiration for our program, Trees for the 21st Century.
