Environmental Justice and Local Communities: Ensuring Sustainable Mining Practices in Cameroon

By: Anthony, Nah

This Book presents a critical analysis of the complex interplay between mineral extraction, environmental integrity, and community welfare in Cameroon. Moving beyond a simple critique of the industry's impacts, it examines the evolving legal and moral responsibilities entrusted to local populations in the pursuit of sustainable mining. The book scrutinizes the persistent gap between the promises of economic development and the frequent reality of environmental degradation and social disruption. Through a rigorous examination of jurisprudence, community rights, and adaptive local strategies, it constructs a compelling case for a more resilient and equitable governance framework. The work offers evidence-based insights, drawing from detailed case studies, to guide policymakers, community leaders, and advocates toward reconciling resource-driven growth with the imperative of safeguarding both ecological systems and human dignity.
