The image shows a sunset over Lake Tanganyika, with golden light reflecting on the calm water. Dark clouds fill the sky, and several boats float in the distance. White text overlays the image, reading: βPROTECTING BIODIVERSITY & HALTING LAND DEGRADATION in the Lake Tanganyika Basin.β The UN Environment Programme logo is positioned in the top right corner.
Freshwater biodiversity is declining twice as fast as in oceans & forests.
A new UNEP-led project will help Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Tanzania & Zambia restore Lake Tanganyikaβs ecosystems and promote sustainable resource use: www.unep.org/news-and-sto...
