The main environmental issues facing the

people of Benin are desertification

,deforestation, wildlife endangerment,

and water pollution. The spread of the desert

into agricultural lands in the north is

accelerated by regular droughts. The Republic of Bénin on March

1,1990, it has

known a

turbulent constitutionaland political

evolution since its accession to

independence.

Only the option in favor of

the Republic has

remained permanent.

Conflicts- Possible Compromise

Tree crops have changed land tenure in Africa. Farmers have acquired permanent,

alienable rights, but have also faced disputes with competing claimants and the

state. Para rubber had many similar effects in the Benin region of colonial Nigeria.

Farmers initially obtained land by traditional methods. Mature farms could be sold,

let out, and used to raise credit. Disputes over rubber involved smallholders,

communities of rival users, and migrants. The impact of tree crop

commercialization in Benin differed from other cases due to local context,

including pre-colonial institutions, the late spread of rubber, and the relative

unimportance of migrant planters
