Project overview
The LATABIOCON project addresses the critical environmental and socio-economic challenges facing the Lake Tanganyika Basin (LTB), a massive ecosystem covering 223,000 km² that holds one-fifth of Earth’s accessible freshwater and supports over 12 million people across Burundi, DRC, Tanzania, and Zambia. This unique basin encompasses several major government-managed protected areas and internationally recognized Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs).
However, the ecosystem is under immense pressure from the overexploitation of nearshore fish communities, habitat loss, and widespread catchment degradation. These human-driven pressures are heavily amplified by climate change, which has caused persistent lake warming, stronger stratification, expanding low-oxygen zones, and erratic rainfall trends that accelerate soil erosion, threatening fisheries, rain-fed agriculture, and lake-dependent livelihoods.
To counter these systemic risks, EDOTA plays a pivotal role within the LaTaBioCoN consortium by leading critical conservation, socioeconomic development, and promoting regenerative economy. Specifically, EDOTA is responsible toward sustainable human development, the organization is tasked with implementing community livelihood interventions that help vulnerable populations adapt to climate and environmental pressures.
