“Lakes may seem remote, but their health determines our own.”

On #WorldLakeDay, UNEP Executive Director @ingerandersen.bsky.social warns that lakes are under siege and explains why their protection can’t wait.

🌐 A year ago, Lake Sofia, Madagascar lost 90% of its water and was on the brink of collapse threatening livelihoods & world’s rarest duck. Thanks to research and community action the lake is full again.

Over 100 million lakes dot the planet, holding most of the world’s surface freshwater.

But many are drying, flooding, turning green or vanishing. What’s happening to one of Earth’s most vital ecosystems?

On #WorldLakeDay, explore what can still be done: www.unep.org/news-and-sto...

Lakes are crucial for biodiversity 🌍

#DYK Lake Ohrid, a European biodiversity hotspot, hosts unique species but faces threats from human activity?

.—@ipbes.net #GlobalAssessment🧪

On #WorldLakeDay, let’s highlight the value of lakes, their sustainable management & the ecosystems they support.
Landscape photograph of Lake Ohrid, showing a vast expanse of deep blue rippling water in the foreground. The lake stretches to distant mountains that form the horizon line. Snow-capped peaks are visible on the higher mountain ranges. Under a bright blue sky, scattered white clouds create a serene atmosphere. The shoreline visible in the distance shows green forested areas and some buildings nestled along the coast. The water's surface has a gentle wave pattern, creating a textured appearance across the lake.

“We need to celebrate World Lake Day by acknowledging the benefits we derive from lakes, and then by returning the favour by taking action to ensure that our lakes remain healthy”

John Smol, @sjcfishy.bsky.social & @sapnasharma.bsky.social reflect on #WorldLakeDay: bit.ly/45VwrGW
Opinion: Let’s both celebrate – and worry about – our Great Lakes on World Lake Day
Canada’s freshwater benefits us greatly - and we need to return the favour

Several of Switzerland’s iconic lakes are shared with our EU neighbors — and for many communities, lakes are part of the transport network ⛴️.

Ferries and boats regularly cross national boundaries, making it possible to commute between Switzerland and EU countries.
