Why should the world care about another countries environmental issues? The answer is simple; they do not affect just a single person or neighborhood, they affect many people and many neighborhoods. Just because parts of the world do not suffer from one countries environmental disasters doesn't mean that they may, in some way, shape, or form.

Problems in one country are bound to affect another. Diseases, as well as epidemics can spread and the more refugees that start moving to other countries, or dying, the less trade the world can conduct with each other. All countries will tie in with other countries in some way. To care about the well being of ourselves is to care about the well being of others.

Some parts of Africa are not very privileged when it comes to economic needs and they could probably use some help when it comes to financial needs.

In 1992, a report conducted by the United Nations, had claimed that the humans in Mozambique are the most endangered species in the country. In 2005, approximately 19,792 people had died alone, making the life expectancy to be no longer than at least 42 years of age.
