This book examines South Africa's environmental problems and shows how communities are rallying to the defense of the environment. Topics covered include land degradation, water pollution, urban ghettoes, and the industrial environment. In evaluating South Africa as a microcosm of First and Third World environmental problems, this book shows how the apartheid system has contributed to environmental damage, and offers possible solutions.
