Introduction
The environment provides mankind with general life support. Thus, all of man’s activities, be it economic, social or political, are carried out on the environment. It is in man’s quest to provide for his everyday needs that have spurred him to explore and exploit the environment thereby degrading the environment in the process. Thus, as man continue the degradation process, the environment in turn has its way of making sure that man does not go unharmed i.e., it places man under certain unfavorable circumstances. These circumstances usually come in the form of diseases, hunger and general hardship. Environmental degradation can contribute to social, economic and political instability, which can lead to untold hardship and security problems.
