This website was developed by a global network of more than 2000 people and
organizations in 100+ countries working for the conservation and sustainable
management of lakes. From 1998-2008, the network was supported by the LakeNet
Secretariat (formerly Monitor International), a U.S.-based nonprofit
organization dedicated to bringing together people and solutions to protect and
restore the health of the world's lakes. At the end of 2008, the LakeNet Trustees
dissolved the nonprofit organization and transferred the website to private
management by the network's
co-founders.
Explore this site and our global lake database to learn more about what is being
done to protect and manage lakes, and how you can help.
