Women Extractive Activities and Environmental Degradation in Obudu LGA: A Qualitative Analysis

Abstract

It has been observed that in spite of the acknowledged important role the environment plays in human sustenance and survival, there is still a discrepancy or inadequate efforts at putting it into proper use and management in order to realize the maximum benefits for present and later generations. This stems from the contention that several activities inimical to efficient and effective use and or exploitation of the environment are often embarked upon especially among women in Obudu Local Government Area of Cross River State.
