"The environment of Sub-Saharan Africa has been subject to radical shifts in understanding. The continent was seen as an untouched wilderness—a setting for films such as Born Free— with spectacular game parks and reserves. In the 1970s and 1980s Africa became associated with Malthusian hardship, with images emphasizing an arid, treeless landscape, exhausted by overfarming, overgrazing, and overpopulation. These shifting perceptions helped shape the response of Africa’s international partners, who moved from an emphasis on conservation to community-based e‰orts to address land degradation. More recently, Africa’s international partners are helping countries find ways to unlock natural resource wealth while managing the environment sustainably. \r\n\r\n\r\n"Environment Matters at the world bank Rio+20"\r\n\r\n\r\ndd
