The resilience of Lake Bosomtwe, the biggest natural lake in West Africa, is at risk of climate change and other human activities, according to research by scientists from the University of Energy and Natural Resource (UENR). Based on a 1986 baseline study, their research discovered the lake is drying up, as it recedes 35 meters from its shoreline since 2005, recording sharp decline in water levels, reduction in size of the lake and decline in fish population.
