Explanation:

From the time when Wangari Maathai began the movement in 1977, more than 51 million trees have been planted and more than 30,000 women have received training in forestry, food processing, beekeeping and other trades that help them earn income while preserving their land and resources. Communities in Kenya (both men and women) have been motivated and organized to prevent further destruction of the environment and restore what has been damaged.
