Africa, Ghana, Lake Bosomtwe. The Ashanti people only fish from the traditional wooden
Africa, Ghana, Lake Bosomtwe. The Ashanti people only fish from the traditional wooden padua. This one million-year-old sacred lake was created when a giant meteorite crash landed in what was once a lush rainforest. In Ashanti, Ghana, Lake Bosumtwi is revered by locals as sacred and tradition dictates that they can only fish in the lake using wooden planks called paduas. Nowadays the lake - which stretches across 10.5 kilometres - is under threat from deforestation and modernisation

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the serene beauty of Lake Bosomtwe in Ghana, Africa. The image captures the essence of tradition and reverence held by the Ashanti people towards this sacred lake. Created over a million years ago by a colossal meteorite impact, Lake Bosumtwi is nestled amidst hills and lush greenery that once formed part of a vibrant rainforest. The Ashanti people have long upheld their cultural heritage by adhering to traditional fishing practices on this tranquil water body. Using wooden planks called paduas, they gracefully navigate the calm waters in their canoes, reflecting both their deep connection with nature and respect for ancient customs. However, modernization and deforestation pose significant threats to this precious ecosystem. As progress encroaches upon its shores, Lake Bosomtwe faces an uncertain future. It is crucial now more than ever to preserve its pristine beauty as it holds not only ecological significance but also immense cultural value. This awe-inspiring photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between human traditions and environmental conservation. Let us cherish this remarkable biosphere reserve for generations to come so that future visitors may experience the tranquility and reflection offered by Lake Bosomtwe's enchanting shores.
