The constitutionalisation of the environmental phenomenon in Cameroon was done following the orientations which are defined at the international level. Following the constitutional revision of January 18th, 1996, the Cameroonian constituant made environmental protection a fundamental human right whose implementation requires the concerted action of all the economical and social actors. Nevertheless, the protection of the said law is marked by the fact that human beings are at the center of protection. The legislative and regulatory activities for the past thirteen years have not proved the contrary. This is proof of the fact that environmental protection goes beyond purely juridical considerations.
