hosting the 10th Living Lakes Conference -
  
          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.

          Numerous best practice examples and case studies about sound lake stewardship were presented in the conference.  Also introduced  and discussed were transferable solutions and strategies in order to assist communities to play their role as responsible stewards of lake ecosystems.  

          The conference was attended by representatives from the Living Lakes Network members and local wetland managers and management advocates.  The participants had the opportunity to learn more on how lake stewardship issues are being addressed by the various Laguna de Bay stakeholders during the field trips to its lakeshore municipalities.
