In the heart of the Ethiopian Rift Valley lies Lake Hawasa, a breathtaking oasis of lush vegetation and rich biodiversity. For the local community, this lake is not just a scenic marvel—it's a lifeline. "This Lake means a lot to me," says a local fisherman. "It's been the source of livelihood for me and my family for years." However, the once-teeming waters are now facing a alarming decline in fish stocks, forcing residents to sell at higher prices to maintain their livelihoods.
