What is your issue?
The Exploitation of Natural Resources in Africa
What is the Exploitation of a Natural Resource?
Abusing the way Natural Resources should
be used. Or using them in a greedily way. Such as iron ore, zinc, manganese,
copper, nickel, and more importantly gold and diamonds.
What makes the Exploitation of Natural Resources in Africa so important?
We need these resources for other things, more important things then taking them for ourselfs.
Why is the Exploitation Natural Resources a problem in Africa?
We need those resources like (some of
the more namely) cocoa, oil, gold and diamonds. Like cocoa for chocolate
.Gold and diamonds for money and jewels
. And oil is a power source of many
things.
How does the government play a role in the exploitation of natural resources?
If the exploitation of natural resources is still going on, I don't think that the African government is doing much to prevent this.
What is the global reaction to exploitation of natural resources?
Using natural resources this way is indeed illegal and not acceptable. Is is expressed as a serious concern to the world.
How would I attempt to fix or correct this?
Well, I would try so save up money to go
to Africa first. I would go up to the government of the major countries and
talk to the leaders about what is going on. About the mistreatment of these
natural resources.
