Many of Africa's environmental problems are made much worse by the poverty and lack of money available for simple, effective solutions. Then you have countries like Nigeria, rich with oil, but the wealth stays with the corrupt few, who are now adopting terrorist tactics to maintain their wealth and power. Think outside the box.<br><b>References : </b><br> Lack of economic development and corruption.

Despite this however they still persist in chopping down every tree for fire wood - even the fruit bearing trees - and safe drinking water is a scarce commodity.<br><b>References : </b><br> Deforestation and over demand on drinking water.
