In this Witness History special, Claire Marshall introduces us to five important moments in environmental history. We'll talk to one of the Australian campaigners who fought to save the Great Barrier Reef from miners and oil prospectors in the 1960s. We will meet the woman whose family was devastated by mercury poisoning in Japan and the environmentalist who came up with an ambitious solution to try to solve Mexico City's toxic air problem. We will take you back to the early days of organic farming in the UK and we'll bring you the story of Wangari Maathai who in 2004 became the first African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize for her work trying to save Kenya's forests.
