The Impact of Refugees on the Environment in North Eastern Kenya: and Appropriate Responses Thomas Muema

This book analyzes the effects of refugees on the environment in the Dadaab refugee camp. It traces the effects of refugees in other parts of the world and how governments and international bodies have been responding to it. It is evident that the community living around the Dadaab refugee camp are aware of the dangers posed by human settlement on the environment management. Natural resources around the refugee camp have been declining every year due to influx of the refugees in the area who compete for the meager resources with the locals without replacing them and this spells doom to the community due to depletion of the resources which mainly support their life.
