Asian and African Differences
Economy Asia has larger funds to spend on
sustaining their environment than Africa Because of this, Asia does not have to
choose what project their government money goes to as strictly as African governments
However, because the economy is so large in Asia, the populated cities create a great deal of toxins that are released into the air and create pollution
Traditional Southwest Pacific Environment
Tropical Palm Trees Clear Ocean Water Beaches Sunny
Modern Southwest Pacific
Populated Tropical Palm Trees Rationed Water Supply Climate Change
Efforts to Sustain Environment
SPREP (Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme)
