Abstract. Immediate conservation measures for world-wide freshwater resources are of eminent importance. This is particularly true for so-called ancient lakes. While these lakes are famous for being…

It is argued that the establishment of “micro-scale protected areas,” a large number of small stretches of strictly protected coast line, each only some hundreds of meters long, is likely to work best to preserve the littoral communities in African lakes.

The fox sparrows of North America illustrate the effect of the arrangement of habitats, in a way beautifully worked out by Swarth (1920), where representatives of a species inhabiting the entire linear strip have a different appearance, depending upon which part or small section of the strip they live in.

Early strategies suggested are the extension of four existing wildlife land parks further into the lake to form underwater parks, and reconnaissance of other potential park sites, and initial ecological and social surveys conducted from the four parks would provide baseline data for management.
