  Tragedy of the commons - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The tragedy of the commons is a phrase used to refer to a class of phenomena that involve a conflict for resources between individual interests and the common good.
The opposite situation to a tragedy of the commons is sometimes referred to as a tragedy of the anticommons.
The "tragedy" should not be seen as tragic in the conventional sense, nor must it be taken as condemnation of the processes that are ascribed to it.

TWENTY OF the 42 tanzanite mines at Mererani in Arusha that were closed on April 9 when torrential rains caused flooding in the pits, killed an estimated 100 people, have been allowed to resume operations.
The zonal mining, officer Mr Alex Magayane, told The EastAfrican that the decision followed the miners' compliance with the safety conditions laid down by the Ministry of Minerals in May. However, a visit to the Mererani mining camp showed that the smaller companies were having difficulty conforming to12 of the new regulations.
