The Chad Basin is a large geographical area located in north-central Africa, primarily within Chad, Nigeria, Niger, and Cameroon. It is characterized by its low-lying terrain and is home to the Lake Chad, which is a vital water source for millions of people in the region. The basin is known for its diverse ecosystems, including wetlands and savannas, supporting various wildlife and plant species. The basin's climate is predominantly arid, with seasonal rainfall that influences agriculture and fishing activities. Over the years, Lake Chad has significantly shrunk due to climate change and increased water usage, impacting local communities and their livelihoods. Conservation efforts are ongoing to address these challenges and preserve the basin's natural resources.
