A Glance on Environmental Protection in Africa: Theological Perspective

The wish is that environmental protection be a permanent individual and collective responsibility for African intellectuals and all human community. Using conceptual tools, environmental, management and theological critical analysis, it can allow showing how well concepts such as politics, economy, war, culture, technology, urbanization, globalization, and theology are linked to ecology, which means the relationships between them and the surrounding nature. Consequently, African intellectuals and different theologians need also to take into account and help observe ecological norms in the fulfillment of their world mission. Affirm Mugambi (2001) “human beings and nature as such are valuable and deserve to survive”. Therefore, global and local actors must take appropriate responsibility in order to ensure the ecological balance that will sustain life on this planet
