Forgotten waters: Freshwater and marine ecosystems in Africa. Strategies for biodiversity conservation and sustainable development.

By Carole A Shumway

Over the last several years, the worlds biodiversity crisis, and its implications for human development, has become clear. Solutions must be found for the problems created by humans for other life, for otherwise both humans and wildlife will continue to suffer. The situation is most critical for nations that rely on natural resources for economic development, such as those in Africa. As the World Bank notes, sub-Saharan Africa depends more on its environmental resource base for its economic and social needs than any other region in the world (Environment Matters, 1996). African nations simply cannot afford to lose their wildlife and the ecological services they provide, including the animals under water and those associated with water.
