Summary
DescriptionClimate change and unsustainable land use practices threaten Lake Turkana in Kenya (Copernicus).jpg
English: Lake Turkana is a large lake in east-central Africa and a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in northwest Kenya. Its extent has increased by over 10% in the last decade, submerging almost 800 square kilometres of land. According to the Government of Kenya and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the rising water levels in Lake Turkana are caused by climate change and unsustainable land use practices. These two images, acquired by the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 8 January 2016 (left) and 5 February 2022 (right), show that the village of Komote, located in the southern part of the lake, was turned into an island after the lake level rose in 2020. Data collected by Copernicus satellites allow to monitor of the effects of climate change in fragile ecosystems such as wetlands, lakes, etc.
