Providing perspectives on the most significant environmental issues currently facing Afghanistan as it emerges from years of conflict and isolation, this book recommends a set of approaches to rehabilitate and protect the natural resource base while providing the Afghani people with the means for their livelihoods through sustainable resources. This book examines how these resources have been severely degraded as a consequence of past political instability and weakly implemented environment and resource management policies.
