Fish are becoming increasingly rare on the west coast of Lake Edward, a transboundary lake on the border of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda.
This situation is due to a more than 300 percent increase in fishing boats, the growing influence of armed groups, the corruption of officials responsible for fishing regulations, and climate change.
Several fishermen have left the profession, others are arrested in Uganda for violating lake limits, malnutrition is gaining ground among women and children, and floods are increasingly recurring.
How can this lake be saved? Better governance of Lake Edward, restoration of state authority, introduction of sustainable fishing techniques, reduction of corruption and much more are necessary to restore this lake and its biodiversity.
