This paper outlines the current state of environmental legislation and administration in Botswana,
identifying the various problems with that system. Those problems include fragmented and
overlapping administration and out-dated legislation that is not in keeping with modem, holistic
approaches to environmental management, ineffective and unreliable enforcement, compounded
by rampant non-compliance. The paper then considers some the developments that are being
made to improve this situation, including: the conversion of the environmental agency into a
department and the introduction of an over-reaching environmental Act, preparation of a wetlands
conservation strategy, the introduction of environmental impact assessment legislation. The
paper concludes by querying the effectiveness of those developments when unsustainable
attitudes continue to predominate in the country / Law / LL.M.
