Bio-diversity

The project on strengthening wetland management through community organisation and prioritised sustainable livelihood options in the Lake Ossa Complex seeks to address threats on Freshwater ecosystems linked to community organisation and participation, unsustainable exploitation of wildlife and fisheries resources. Wetland resources users including women some of whom have already received training from previous projects will be involved in alternative livelihood activities like, cane rat domestication, aquaculture, fish preservation, eco-tourism and counter season farming with the aim of increasing the availability of proteins and also to diversify user groups activities (over hunting/poaching and fishing for example) that are putting a lot of pressure on the wetland resources, ecosystems and hence biodiversity.
