Identiy and map the major threats on an area that stretches over 120 kilometers of coast, south of Bujumbura, where the coastal biodiversity of Lake Tanganyika in Burundi is threatened by pollution, erosion and the destruction of the remaining natural sites. Prepare a holistic management plan for this area, which will be discussed with all stakeholders and in particular the government agencies. For each threat, implement pilot activities such as the planting of bamboo to limit erosion or advocating for the creation of small protected areas along the coast of Lake Tanganyika.
2 Improve the protection and management of the KBA network throughout the hotspot.
