These statements describe the relationship between poverty and the environment in Sub-Saharan Africa:

1) People depend heavily on the land for their basic needs.

2) Survival needs come before environmental protection efforts.

This is because there is an extreme poverty in the sub-Saharan Africa and is caused by political and social issues. There's also exploitation in oil-rich African countries.
