 Preserving the Future for Lake Malawi
The environmental degradation of Lake Malawi can be attributed to four factors: high population growth rates, the economic value of the lake, the Malawian lake-shore culture, and the continued harvesting of large quantities of fish.
High population growth has increased land cultivation in the lake's catchment areas and contributed to the pollution of the lake through the use of fertilizers and other chemicals and the disruption of natural ecosystems through the clearing of the catchment areas.
For example, the government established the Lake Malawi National Park with the aim of protecting the fish species and at the same time ensuring that surrounding villages would continue to fish, thereby getting funds from tourism without depriving the fishers of their traditional means of living.
