The Republic of Benin is an African country situated in the west coast of Africa. The problems facing the Benin environment include deforestation and desertification of the country.
The government of Benin has taken active steps to improve the Benin environment. The environment of Benin is to be substantially improved by establishing a number of game reserves and national parks. The Benin government has allocated more than 5,000 hectares for re-forestation of the land. A healthy ecological climate is to be created in this manner. More than 6% of the total land area of Benin falls under the ecological program. Water pollution is rampant in the country. The phenomena of droughts plague the Republic of Benin at regular intervals. A majority of Benin citizens do not have proper access to drinkable water.
