    Lake Bogoria in Kenya's Great Rift Valley is under threat, as climate change disrupts water levels and dilutes vital minerals. This is depleting the flamingos' food sources, forcing them into mass migration. According to the Lake Bogoria Game Reserve, the flamingo population has declined from 1.5 million to 300,000 in the last ten years. Michael Kimeli, an ornithologist, explains how this has impacted tourism in the area.
