Human Environmental Crisis in Africa

The Environmental crisis is becoming a more serious life-threatening phenomenon in Africa. The Physical environment is deteriorating, thus affecting the socio-economic life of the people. The continent¿s ecosystems have been upset. As the result of this change of weather patterns, desertification, soil erosion, deforestation, water pollution and many other environmental issues have increased to an alarming degree. As a reaction to these strange environmental developments, a number of secular institutions including Governmental as well as Non-governmental bodies have responded with ideas and programmes which are meant to bring solution to the problems. While all those bodies are working for a change, the fundamental question is, what kind of change will bring about the desired results? Is it a change of environment or a change of man who causes the environmental crisis that is important?
