In this lesson, students examine the community organizing /
civic action steps that the Green Belt Movement (GBM) took to address Kenya's deforestation and to tackle the issues closely connected to this environmental issue, including women's rights, equitable economic development, political governance and the sustainable management of scarce resources.
If teachers and students choose to develop a more concerted plan of
action, the Constitutional Rights Foundation s provides a short nine -
step - guide, designed to empower teachers and students to plan and implement
civic action projects within their local communities.
