Environmental justice movements have emerged in resource-rich African nations to address environmental degradation caused by extractive industries and pollution. The study employs a qualitative approach, analysing case studies of environmental disputes and community mobilization efforts. A key finding is the significant role played by social media in amplifying voices and spreading awareness among marginalized communities affected by resource extraction. Egyptian environmental justice movements have successfully pressured government to adopt more protective regulations, though challenges remain regarding enforcement. Further research should focus on long-term sustainability of these movements and methods for broader community engagement.
