What is environmental pan Afrianism? This is a new concept of pan Africanism Its essense is that African solidarity has been and must be based not on political but environmental considaration of equity and sustainaility for environmental renewal an survival of the African consciousness in a globalised world. It is a pan Africanism of environmental solidarity (environsolidarity). It integrates ecology, ethics, morality, spirituality, culture, environment, nature, community, equity and sustainaility in one spectrum of African solidarity and progress. It emphasises environmental independence rather than political independence, which was and has been the focus of orthodox pan Africanism. It holds that the whole is greater than its parts. It advances the view that real progress in the Afrcana will begin if African iverts attention from money and things as focus of change to people, environment and nature as the real factors of change and demands that investment should be in these three factors of change. This according to the concept will ensure that endogenous communities of change create themselves from within using non-conventional methods of resources management and conservation. The concept does not encourage foreign ideas such as replacing our indigenous genepool with so-called genetically modified crops. It does not encourage destruction of natural forests and their replacement with grasses such as oil palm and sugarcane or the temperate desert pine tree and hot desert eucalyptus tree. Therefore, the concept of environmental pan Africanism is a concept of self-preservation, renewal and perpetuation in an increasingly globalised world It is a joint innovation of Calm Africa and Afunaduula Development Foundation under the umbrella organisation called Forum for Environmental Renewal, Equity and Sustainaility.
