萬格麗．瑪泰在充滿綠意的非洲肯亞長大。但幾年後，當她留學歸國，卻驚訝地發現森林中許多樹都被砍下，且再過不久可能整個森林都會消失。所以她決定要做些什麼，開始在她的後院種下九株小苗。當這些小樹苗長大，她的計畫也跟著擴大了……
這是一個關於環保鬥士萬格麗．瑪泰的故事。非洲肯亞，曾經在短短幾年內遭到濫砍，變得一片荒蕪。一九七七年世界環境日，萬格麗．瑪泰在肯亞發起綠帶運動，以行動鼓勵婦女種植樹木，她深信找回土地的繁茂便是和平的基礎。此運動的影響力不斷擴大，綠意漸漸回到肯亞的土地。而萬格麗．瑪泰也在二○○四年獲得諾貝爾和平獎。本書不僅僅敘述萬格麗的努力與環境保護的觀念，更展現一位女性環保鬥士的熱情、願景與決心，與其帶來的巨大影響。
