A
forum was held on 01 October 2005 at the Gazebo of the Ninoy Aquino
Parks and Wildlife Center to strengthen the commitment of the youth
and to plan the next steps for the CLEAR Youth Network. This was
a follow through to the youth forum held during the 10th Living Lakes
Conference on May 2005 which had consolidated the ideas and
initiatives of the participating youth for the conservation of the
environment of Laguna de Bay.
The CLEAR partners with the Global Nature Fund hosted the 10th Living Lakes Conference
in May 2005 at Tagaytay City. The Conference, which theme was
"The Lake and its People: Sustainable Development in Densely
Populated Lake Regions", was centered around the interaction
between the lake and its people. The discussions were focused on
how communities in densely populated lake regions could achieve a
balance between complex resource uses and sustainable development.
