Residents of World Heritage site, Lake Tengano in East Rennell say the level of the lake is rising and is threatening their taro garden lands. Rennell-Bellona Provincial member and owner of the Kiakoe lodge, Lence Tango said the water is increasing at an alarming rate. Mr. Tango said they do not know what is causing the rise but it is certainly a big threat to taro which is their staple. He added that the level of the lake at his lodge used to be two to three feet below his landing wharf but that’s now covered.
