2020
Mustafa, M.O.
Environment, its degradation and restoration are the outcries of scientists, foresters, wildlife managers, geographers, National Park personnel and other conservationists around the Sub-saharan Africa. Apart from providing livelihoods for plants, it offers food, habitat and breeding grounds for fauna group (wild and domestic), birds (flying and gregarious), mammals and reptiles (terrestrial and aquatic). This paper reviews different publications from different authors at different times on current issues about various perspectives of environment, relevant terminologies, causes of environmental degradation, their scientific evidences, different forms by which they manifest and sensitisation of various stakeholders and the public in general about the need to safeguard the environment and the treasured resources from the pathway of collapse using different strategies by individuals, corporate bodies and governments. The study therefore calls for sensitisation about natural resources conservation using various mass media techniques such as print and electronic media, in order to save key wildlife from extinction. It also calls for incorporation of Natural Resources conservation in Secondary schools Agricultural Science, Biology and Geography curricular. Enactment and enforcement of biodiversity over exploitation laws by Governments at all tiers are essential for fauna and flora sustainability.
