Abstract
Courts constitute platforms for fostering environmental conservation in terms of the orders they hand down. For instance, court orders taking the form of injunctions have the potential to prevent harm before such harm even occurs. The purpose of this chapter is to discuss the role of the judiciary in enforcing environmental rights, and ultimately environmental conservation in Africa. The chapter assesses how the rules of standing and the manner in which environmental rights are couched either limit or advance the enforcement of rights by courts of law. The chapter uses the experience of Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania to represent continental discussions. The doctrinal method is invoked in conducting this research.
