Let's make this birthday one to remember.

84 years old (Born on April 01, 1940)

Happy Birthday to the incredible Wangari Muta Maathai! Your tireless efforts in planting trees have not only made our planet greener but also given squirrels everywhere prime real estate. Who knew saving forests could make you a landlord for wildlife?

Your groundbreaking achievement as the first African woman awarded the Nobel Peace Prize continues to inspire generations worldwide. From championing women's rights, serving Kenya's environment ministry with distinction, and leading countless tree-planting campaigns—your legacy grows stronger each year (just like those millions of seedlings!). Here's wishing your birthday is filled with laughter, joy—and perhaps fewer splinters this time around!
