The life of a lake that sustains millions is about to end. That’s where we begin.

For thousands of years, Tonlé Sap Lake has been a literal source of life. But climate change and human encroachment may already have doomed this fragile ecosystem. That’s why our researchers are leading an international team to find solutions that might still save the planet’s most productive inland fishery. It’s by taking a leadership role in efforts such as this that Boston University is demonstrating its role as a global center for research and discovery. And why thinking differently about our world begins with BU.
