Lake Victoria Threatened By Environmental Degradation
The Konarad-Adenauer-Staftung (KAS) Project Manager, Ms Stefanie Brinkel, opened a two- day conference on Climate change, pollution and sustainable use of natural resources in the Lake Victoria region, Mwanza Region.
Speaking during the first day of the meeting that was done one day before the conference here, the project Manager, Ms Brinkel said that the conference was attended by over 97 participants from riparian countries who suffer the common bond on the climate change and pollution in the lake.
"While Lake Victoria offers a variety of ecological and socio-economic opportunities, we cannot and do not want to close our eyes pertaining to the fact that Lake Victoria has undergone severe changes over time and is threatened by environmental degradation," said Ms Brinkel.
