National Environmental Policy
The environmental situation in the country is characterized by the continuous degradation of natural resources (deforestation, erosion and soil degradation, pollution and pollution, silting up of watercourses, loss of biodiversity, uncontrolled urbanization, mining, etc.) facilitated and accelerated by the virtual absence of control mechanisms and a very strong pauperization of the population in recent years. Unfortunately, the country has only poor capacities to deal with it. Since 1986, the Guinean authorities have become more aware of the need to plan and implement a strategy for the rational exploitation of natural resources and the protection of the environment in order to achieve sustainable development in the country. To this end, the Government has adopted a code on the protection and development of the environment, a national environmental action plan (PNAE), sectoral policies, strategies and action plans as well as several other legislative and regulatory texts. However, the importance of the environment is such that it is now necessary to undertake the development of a comprehensive environmental policy in order to harmonize the various documents relating to the management of natural resources and the protection of the environment.
