   <abstract xml:lang="ru">
    <p>Статья посвящена анализу причин и результатов загрязнения озера Танганьика с целью рационального привлечения научных и гражданских исследований для разработки планов стратегического использования и сохранения биоразнообразия озера Танганьика. Это озеро, обладающее уникальным биоразнообразием, является жизненно важным ресурсом для миллионов людей, проживающих на её прибрежных территориях, однако её экология последние годы сталкивается с серьезными антропогенными угрозами, включающими загрязнение и как следствие — истощение водных ресурсов, а также с негативными последствиями изменения климата. В частности, приведены исследования убедительно показывающие, что на увеличение количества колиформных бактерий активно влияет рост трудовой (антропогенной) активности населения и близость их расселения к береговой линии озера. Указывается, и обосновывается тот факт, что одной из ключевых причин загрязнения водного бассейна озера является загрязнение земель прибрежных территорий. Указывается на необходимость комплексного мониторинга  земель, непосредственно примыкающих к береговой линии, а также земель, занятых промышленными предприятиями и городской средой, которые являются основными источниками загрязнения озера. В публикации отмечается, что исследования, проведенные различными зарубежными и местными организациями, с использованием гражданских исследований по оценке состояния озера и тенденций его изменения характеризуются фрагментарностью, отсутствием системности и недостаточной полнотой. Это затрудняет разработку необходимой для государства научно обоснованной политики эффективного управления использованием ресурсов этого уникального объекта природы и его сохранения. В статье подчеркивается важность гражданской науки в мониторинге загрязнения озера и обсуждаются возможности сотрудничества между учеными и местными сообществами для сбора научных данных, способствующих формированию эффективной политики и стратегии управления, направленных на сохранение экологической и природной устойчивости и целостности озера Танганьика. Приведены имеющиеся в настоящее время результаты, которые, по мнению авторов, можно использовать как базовые для их детализации и дополнения на новой методической основе.</p>

    <p>This article analyzes the causes and consequences of Lake Tanganyika's pollution, aiming to promote scientific and civil research for the strategic management and conservation of Lake Tanganyika's biodiversity. As a vital resource for millions of people living in its coastal areas, Lake Tanganyika's unique biodiversity faces significant anthropogenic threats, including pollution and water resource depletion, as well as the negative impacts of climate change. In particular, the studies convincingly demonstrate that the increase in the number of coliform bacteria is actively influenced by the growth of the population's labor (anthropogenic) activity and their proximity to the lake's shoreline. It is pointed out and justified that one of the key reasons for the pollution of the lake's water basin is the pollution of the coastal areas. It is emphasized that comprehensive monitoring of the lands directly adjacent to the coastline, as well as the lands occupied by industrial enterprises and urban areas, which are the main sources of lake pollution, is necessary. The publication notes that the research conducted by various foreign and local organizations, using civil research to assess the state of the lake and its changing trends, is characterized by fragmentation, lack of systematization, and insufficient completeness. This makes it difficult to develop a scientifically sound policy for the state to effectively manage and preserve this unique natural resource. The article emphasizes the importance of citizen science in monitoring the pollution of the lake, and discusses the possibilities of cooperation between scientists and local communities to collect scientific data that contribute to the development of effective policies and management strategies aimed at preserving the ecological and natural sustainability and integrity of Lake Tanganyika. The article presents the current results, which, according to the authors, can be used as a basis for further details and additions based on a new methodological approach.</p>
