Environmental pressure groups and habitat protection in the developing world: The case of Nigeria
Tóm tắt
Efforts to improve environmental protection in the developing countries continue to dominate the global agenda of environmental conservation for sustainable development. However, very little comment is made regarding the impact of the non-governmental agencies in conservation matters in the developing countries. This paper explores the nature and role of environmental pressure groups in environmental conservation in Nigeria, and discusses potential avenues of cooperation which might exist with external agencies seeking to support environmental protection efforts in the developing world through formal non-governmental channels.
