The Lake Chad Basin

As I promised in my last post, I am going to create a geographical focus. For this, I will use the example of the lake Chad basin.

The lake Chad basin is a high vulnerable area and it is facing a lot of pressure through climate change and anthropogenic influences. The lake shrunk in the last decades by 90%. Which implicates a big challenge for all the nearly 20 million inhabitants in this area.

I found an interesting video from the United Nations with the alarming name “Saving Lake Chad”. Just watch it to get a first impression.
