About Us

The primary focus of Environtropica is the tropical environment, either in its natural state or in its exploited form. Manuscripts submitted for consideration in the journal must be devoted to the presentation and discussion of original research or to significant review and interpretative articles.

In the Beginning

The maiden issues (Volumes 1 & 2) of Environtropica were launched in Abuja on Tuesday, November 30, 2004, at the main auditorium of the Ministry of Environment in Abuja, by the then Honourable Minister for Environment, Colonel Bala Mande (rtd.) who was ably represented by a Director in the Ministry, Prof. Dapo Afolabi.
