Countries Appendix BENIN (41.8%) Benin's economy is largely undeveloped and relies on subsistence agriculture and regional trade. An exploding population (3.3% population growth) is putting pressure on forests for fuelwood, agricultural clearing, pasture lands, and housing. Deforestation has led to extensive siltation of its waterways, hindering boat traffic further damaging the economy, of which over 30% is made up of transport activities. Heavy poaching has depleted the wildlife. . . . . . For current information I highly recommend trying the CIA and FAO links below. |
