Political Instability

A final general argument as to why natural resource degradation occurs is the existence of different types of political instability. In some cases, war or other manifestations of civil strife may create circumstances under which fanners prefer to exploit resources under their control to a maximum. Uncertainty about whether they will control their use in the future dampens their concerns about preserving resources and their continued productivity (Murdoch, 1980). In other cases, the consequences of political instability may result in the undermining of existing natural resource management strategies (Eckholm, 1982). This was the case with the imposition of artificial political boundaries in Africa which disrupted pastoral systems that require the extensive migration of grazing herds. In other instances, the political domination of some social collectivities by others disrupted traditional forms of resource conservation.
