Lakes as essential ecosystems for diverse life forms, including humans, have suffered altered morphology with adverse effects on biodiversity including amphibians, amphibious species. Thus, it is imperative for effective conservation strategies to simultaneously consider lake morphology, landscape variables,, the role of keystone species as ecosystem engineers for biodiversity preservation. Keystone species, particularly birds, large-bodied predators, i.e., crocodylians, play a critical role in maintaining the health of lake ecosystems as ecosystem engineers, bringing about large-scale changes in lake morphology, hydrology that determine the abundance, survival of other species in the ecosystem. Conservation strategies should, therefore, prioritize the protection of these keystone species, their habitats. To balance the needs of human society with the protection of lake ecosystems, their biodiversity, conservation practices must involve stakeholder engagement, including government agencies, local communities, traditional ecological knowledge,, scientists. A multidisciplinary approach, incorporating ecological, hydrological,, social factors, is considered necessary for effective lake conservation. This approach will encompass the preservation of lake biodiversity, consider important variables such as lake morphology, landscape variables,, the role of keystone species as ecosystem engineers in providing insights for strategic conservation practices.
