(1989) examined that there is a lot of environmental and economic
and environmental degradation. By so doing, the paper will begin by defining major concepts: conflict and environmental degradation. It will further show the different types of conflict, causes, duration and intensity of conflicts. Thereafter it will discuss how conflict contributes to the formulation of sound environmental management policies within and between countries.
