In many villages of the Lac Télé Community Reserve, the local fishing charter, a simple guide designed to protect aquatic habitats and prevent overfishing, remains largely unknown. This lack of awareness threatens the sustainable use of the lake’s precious resources.
A sensitization mission traveled along the southern corridor of the Reserve, from Itanga to Bouanéla. Over 780 people learned about responsible fishing practices and received copies of the mini charter. The Reserve team continues to work hand in hand with local communities to strengthen surveillance and ensure the long-term protection of fish resources.
