Overview

An ecosystem-recovery initiative to restore a degraded lake and its surrounding watershed, reviving biodiversity, water security and local livelihoods.

Problem & Solution

⚠️ The Problem

Many regional lakes have been degraded by over-extraction, pollution and habitat loss, undermining water security, fisheries and the communities that depend on them.

✅ The Solution

EcoIQ scopes a restoration programme covering water quality, habitat recovery and community co-management, with transparent measurement of ecological and social recovery against a clear baseline.
