Wotain a PhD in East and Central Africa, was a scholar and an environmental and human rights activist. In 1977, she founded the Green Belt Movement, a non-governmental organization that encourages women to plant trees to combat deforestation and environmental degradation. To date, the Green Belt Movement has planted over 50 million trees. In the face of regular opposition, she succeeded in deepening and expanding her engagement with local communities through an impressive network of regional and international alliances, which made the Green Belt Movement a model women's organization.

She was eventually elected as a Member of Parliament upon Kenya's effective return to multiparty democracy in 2002, also serving as Assistant Minister in the Ministry for Environmental and Natural Resources.
