South Africa?
Posted by IT CommentatorSep 30
one region of the world and identify at least two serious environmental problems, such as soil degradation, air or water pollution, pesticide misuse, overpopulation, wildlife extinction or threatened biodiversity, and deforestation, that impact this region. What seem to be the root causes of these problems?
• Determine what strategies local governments, businesses, or individual citizens can implement to lessen the negative impact on the environment in this region and help prepare it for a more sustainable future. Keep in mind that you may have very limited resources available to you in this region. Are there practical solutions to these problems that can be funded, developed, and implemented locally, or will long-term solutions require assistance from outside sources? If outside support is required for your plan, detail the extent of their involvement.
• Identify other regions of the world that have attempted to overcome these same, or similar, problems. Describe at least one method that they attempted to use to solve the problem. Did they succeed or fail in their efforts? What environmental or social factors aided or hindered the implementation of those plans?
of all the african countries, south africa is the best off. i would rather go with zimbabwe. there is no food, so the people eat all their wildlife (wildlife extinction) and they dont replace resources used, which leads to threatened biodiversity and deforestations which again leads to poverty which leads to overpopulation, pollution etc. then again, this is true for most of africa – but i’d also have a look at brazil, especially with the deforestation of the rainforest. hope this helps!

deforestation; soil erosion; land degradation; air and water pollution; the black rhinoceros herd – once the largest concentration of the species in the world – has been significantly reduced by poaching; poor mining practices have led to toxic waste and heavy metal pollution “
