Major environmental issues hampering EQ (1)�Forest depletion/deforestation (2%
per yr)-Timber harvesting-surface mining-slash and burn farming system-rising demand for fuel wood

Major environmental issues hampering EQ (2) �Poor waste management�Air pollution eg. road traffic & industrial �Pollution of rivers & lagoons�Coastal and marine pollution eg.
industrial waste�Indiscriminate springing up of slums in
the cities
