2011 – Lake Ontario Waterkeeper is a prominent environmental organization dedicated to protecting and preserving the health of Lake Ontario and its surrounding waters. Their main mission is to ensure swimmable, drinkable, and fishable water for future generations. By conducting research, monitoring water quality, and advocating for stronger environmental regulations, they work tirelessly to safeguard the lake’s ecosystem. Recently, Lake Ontario Waterkeeper had the privilege of hosting a delegation from the Central Huallaga Riverkeepers. This visit provided an opportunity for the Central Huallaga Riverkeepers to learn about the activities and methods employed by Lake Ontario Waterkeeper in their conservation and advocacy efforts. Despite being located in different parts of the world, the two organizations share commonalities in their commitment to water protection, community engagement, and the use of science-based approaches to address environmental challenges. The exchange of knowledge and experiences between Lake Ontario Waterkeeper and Central Huallaga Riverkeepers exemplifies the importance of global collaboration in the pursuit of preserving our planet’s precious water resources.
A visit to Mark Matteson and his team at the downtown Toronto, Ontario.
