Abstract

Environmental Justice Movements (EJM) in Gabon have emerged as a response to resource exploitation and environmental degradation. This study employs a multi-disciplinary approach, integrating sociological, ecological, and anthropological perspectives. The theoretical framework identifies key factors influencing EJM effectiveness in Gabon, including community mobilization strategies and resource governance models. Recommendation for policymakers includes strengthening community rights frameworks and promoting equitable resource management practices.
