Qaroun Lake… A Food Treasure in the Heart of the Desert

Despite being located in a desert region, Qaroun Lake is one of Egypt’s richest sources of natural food. How is that possible?
Thanks to its rich biodiversity, the lake produces large quantities of fish every year, feeding hundreds of families and providing job opportunities for young people. It’s a unique environment that teaches us how nature can sustain communities—if we protect it.

A Message to the Youth:
If you live in Fayoum or care about the environment, remember that every fish in this lake depends on a delicate ecological balance… and your role is vital in preserving it!
