Inle, the second largest lake in Myanmar, has suffered from unprecedented low water levels after record temperatures and low rainfall during the past year. The lake has a special ecosystem and is home to many species unique to the waters. It also supports a community of seventy thousand people who farm and fish there. But climate change has seen water levels drop dramatically and scientists fear the lake could disappear altogether.
