| Title: | LZmL_725557V - Fisherman & White Water, Luapula River, D R Congo - Zambia Border |
| Caption: | A Congolese villager subsistence fishing in dangerous white water rapids on the Luapula River. This fisherman is rod & line fishing for small fish and fingerlings because that is all that's left in this overfished section of the river. Uncontrolled and unsustainable netting with small aperture gill nets is killing such rivers as this on the Congo-Zambia border. Now, netting using mosquito nets donated by international development aid agencies is widespread and this exacerbates an already serious problem - such nets removing not just small fish but also all fingerlings and even fish eggs, rendering whole sections of a once rich river 'dead'. A devastating, but apparently unheeded lesson in how not to give aid. |
