Lake Chad, located in Chad’s Lac Province, is experiencing a significant decline in its fish stocks, according to France 24.
This decrease is mainly attributed to climate change, which causes erratic weather conditions, as well as overfishing. These factors directly affect the livelihoods of local populations, who rely primarily on fishing and agriculture.
Climate change also damages agricultural lands, while the cost of living is rising in the region, exacerbating the economic difficulties faced by residents.
