The conservation value of East African saline alkaline lakes is identified based on the spatial and temporal gradients of regional variability, landscapes, biodiversity and population changes. The present extent of their management is evaluated along a spatial gradient from international to local, through the perspective of international agreements, management plans and policies. Gaps in present-day conservation management are identified and the theoretical possibilities for improved management and more secure conservation outlined. The final section suggests ways in which improved management policies can be achieved in the next decade by simple knowledge collection at each lake and sharing using social media.
