Protect the Lake Tanganyika: Source of our lives
The Government of Burundi
Lake Tanganyika is one of the world's largest freshwater reserves and an essential source of life for millions of people. It provides drinking water, food, and livelihoods, while harbouring exceptional biodiversity.
However, pollution caused by plastic waste, industrial discharge, and household waste poses a grave threat to this ecosystem. Without immediate action, the consequences on public health, fisheries, tourism, biodiversity, and the livelihoods of coastal communities will continue to worsen.
