Intangible heritage includes instruments, objects, artefacts and cultural spaces associated with communities, and are almost always held orally . Loss of heritage assets may be a direct consequence of climate change/variability , or a consequence of indirect factors resulting from climate change, for example, economic instability and poor decision making in areas of governance. In northern Nigeria, climate change exacerbates the impact of poor land use decisions, reducing the flow of the Yobe River and negatively impacting the Bade fishing festival because the available fish species continue to decline . Similarly, Lake Sanke in Mali has been degraded by a combination of urban development and poor rainfall, threatening the Sanké mon collective fishing rite .
