Service Description: Lake Poyang, China's largest freshwater lake, has experienced a dramatic reduction in surface area from nearly 270,000 hectares in 1984 to just over 202,000 hectares by 2014, a decline of about 25%. This shrinkage, primarily driven by upstream water diversion from the Yangtze River by the Three Gorges Dam, has significant ecological and socio-economic consequences. The reduction in lake size threatens vital habitats for endangered species, disrupts local fishing practices, and alters land use patterns, impacting regional climate and economic stability. Urgent action is needed to address water diversion policies, enhance conservation efforts, and support affected communities to safeguard Lake Poyang for future generations.
