Topic: Problems Of Ecological Environment In Cameroon(central Africa)

Cameroon is a country in central Africa between Nigeria, Democratic republic of Congo, Tchad, Gabon and Republic of Guinea. It is vast, expansive, and sparsely populated. Geographically, it consists of ten provinces and covers about 75.000 squarer kilometers. Is population is estimated of about 2o millions.
Although Cameroon is economically undeveloped, it plays an important role in economic and social development in central Africa. In the one hand Cameroon is a crucial base of power and natural resources in the sub region. With many falls of its various rivers it produces hydraulic electricity which is sold all over the country and in neighboring countries. On the other hand, Cameroon is rich in fauna and flora resources and the major habitat far Cameroon's many rare wildlife species. Therefore protecting its ecological environment is of vital significance not only to some provinces, but also to social and economic development of the whole country. However, because of the fragility of its ecological environment, plus improper activities in the the long past the ecological environment of Cameroon has been seriously damaged. This damage is clearly demonstrated in the aggravation of the water resource crisis, degraded ecological function of forests, constant degradation of grassland, increasing severity of land desertification, and dramatic destruction in the number of wildlife animals and plants.
Due to population increase, expansion in urbanization,rapid economic development and all kinds of unreasonable human activities, the vast area of vegetation in the some provinces has been damaged, leading to continual aggravation and desertification, causing ever increasing harm. Today, the incessantly aggravation land degradation causes as continual reduction in utilizable resources which are already lacking in south province.
Since the government hasn't taken appropriate measures to protect animals and plants resources, my country today faces a dramatic catastrophe situation. Rare species like lions elephants , gazelles antelopes and many kinds of forest essence have been dangerously destroy by human being.
Because of the excessive pursuit of short -term economic benefits, overgrazing and overloading in the the western province have posed serious problems, causing continual grassland degradation , continual decrease in grassland quality. Soil erosion and agricultural activities have constantly modified the land . I doubt if by the year 2080, people will steal survive in my country.
