Do Chinese extraction (mining, oil & gas) activities in Africa overlap with areas of conservation value?


In April 2011 I wrote a report for Conservation International (CI) on Chinese mining, oil and gas extraction operations in eleven African countries were CI has a significant presence and in the context of their geographical locations to biological diverse environments.  The report also looks at how CI could possibly catalyse a working relationship with important and responsible Chinese corporations with a view to help them mitigate any negative environmental impact their operations might have.  The good folks at Conservation International have allowed me to openly publish a report which can be down loaded and read here.
