CLEAR held the 5th CLEAR Youth Network Congress on
31 July - 01 August 2010 at the University of the Philippines
Campus, Los Baños Laguna. Cognizant of the
importance of the youth sector in lake conservation, CLEAR focuses
its activities on the Youth in the lakeshore towns of Laguna de
Bay. The banner project for this is the CLEAR Youth Network that
encompasses activities such as the Youth Ecological Camps, the
Community Lake Monitoring Network, and their annual gathering during
the CLEAR Youth Network Congress.
