乌干达阿尔伯特湖畔：守护共同的生命之源\n\n在乌干达基库贝区（Kikuube district）的恩孔多（Nkondo）湖岸，新的一天在日出前就开始了。渔民们下湖捕鱼，阿尔伯特湖（Lake Albert）周边的家庭则依靠这里的湖水获取食物、收入和日常生活所需。\n\n然而，在这些日常活动的背后，一个日益显现的威胁正在逼近：塑料垃圾和其他杂物正在进入阿尔伯特湖。\n\n当地渔业社区的领导人发出警告，如果不采取紧急行动，污染可能会危及鱼类资源，进而威胁到子孙后代的生存。\n\n与当地渔民一样，联合国也曾发出警告，指出近几十年来由于污染和环境退化，淡水物种数量一直在下降。\n\n根据联合国环境规划署（UNEP）和联合国水机制（UN-Water）于2024年发布的一份报告，在拥有9310万人口的地区，地表水体正在缩减甚至完全消失，同时由于污染，四分之一以上的水体浑浊度不断增加。\n\n在纪念每年8月27日的世界湖泊日（World Lake Day）之际，阿尔伯特湖渔民协会主席所罗门·瓦玛拉（Solomon Wamara）表示，社区不能一方面将湖泊视为生计来源，另一方面又任由其被垃圾填满。\n\n他对联合国新闻表示：这是一个强调这座作为我们生命之源的湖泊所面临威胁的好时机。

‘The lake is our life’: Protecting a shared lifeline in Uganda UN News Fishing nets spread on the sandy shore of Lake Albert in Uganda. Facebook Twitter Print Email

On the shores of Nkondo, in Uganda’s Kikuube district, the day begins before sunrise. Fishers enter the lake to fish, while families around Lake Albert rely on its waters for food, income and daily survival.

But, behind these daily activities lies an increasingly visible threat: plastic waste and other debris entering Lake Albert.

Leaders of the local fishing community are warning that without urgent action, pollution could endanger fish stocks and, as a consequence, the lives of future generations.

Like the local fishers, the UN has also warned of the decline of freshwater species due to pollution and environmental degradation in recent decades.

Surface water bodies are shrinking or being completely lost in areas home to 93.1 million people, while more than a quarter are becoming increasingly cloudy because of pollution, according to a 2024 report by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and UN-Water.

In celebration of World Lake Day, marked annually on 27 August, Solomon Wamara, the chairperson for fishers on Lake Albert, said the community cannot continue to view the lake as a source of livelihood while allowing it to be filled with waste.

“It is a good time to highlight the threats facing this lake that is our lifeline,” he told UN News.
