GLOW VII - Protecting Great Lakes of the World: Managing Exploitation with Ecosystem-based Science
Millions of people depend on the lake for water, food, and transportation including important transport routes between the riparian countries of Burundi, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Tanzania and Zambia. Due to Tanganyika’s important ecosystem, the AEHMS decided to convene the seventh conference on the Great Lakes of the World (GLOW 7) on this amazing lake, with the help of The Lake Tanganyika Authority (LTA).
