En un contexto en el que problemas ambientales como la contaminación, el cambio climático, la extinción de la flora y la fauna y el calentamiento global son evidentes, resulta útil examinar cómo podrÃan entenderse las concepciones africanas de la ética ambiental para enfrentar algunos de estos problemas. el mundo entero.
