Environmental Issues Facing African Nations

• Such issues include climate change and air
  quality.
• Human activities such as deforestation and poor
  management of land and water resources negatively
  affect the environment. For example, clearing of
  tropical forests in Central and Western Africa
  alters local climate and rainfall patterns and
  increases the risk of drought. Clearing of
  vegetation increases run-off and soil erosion
  which contributes to desertification.
