Abstract

The whitewashing of the environmental movement means tremendous achievements are overlooked in the global South. Pioneering activists such as the Kenyan thinker and organiser Wangari Maathai have had a profound impact on the shape of environmentalism globally and our understanding of what can be achieved to create healthier and more sustainable livelihoods. We reflect on her legacy and why it remains so important.
