Wangari


Whelped 18 July 2014.
Full name: Wangari Maathai.

A tribute to Wangari Muta Maathai (1940-2011), a Kenyan environmental and political activist, who founded the Green Belt Movement, an environmental NGO focused on the planting of trees, environmental conservation, and women's rights. In 2004, she became the first African woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for "her contribution to sustainable development, democracy and peace".


The fairest of the litter, Wangari is easily recognizable. She is smaller than most, but makes up for it by a level of activity that is remarkable even at the tender age of 7 days.
