Description and Table of Contents
Description
Poor people in the Southern hemisphere depend on their environment more directly than the rich and are more directly affected by its destruction or deterioration. For this reason, this work argues, they are entitled to protect it, yet in many places they are powerless to do so. With case studies from Africa, Asia, South America and the Caribbean, this text looks at environmental issues from the point of view of the poor. It examines the pressures on the environment in the Southern hemisphere, such as industrial development, unfair trade and military conflict, and the solutions which people are developing. It examines the contribution of the Northern hemisphere, outlines the work of Oxfam to change the situation through Fair Trade campaigning, and looks at ways in which individual people can make a difference.
