With hope and life for Lake Chapala, whirlpools of energy are generating
all over Lakeside. Just check out a few of the dozens of accomplishments
of the Amigos del Lago alone, since last February, for example:
Lake Chapala was included in the international
powerhouse Living Lakes. AdL joined in lawsuits to stop
Guanajuato farmers from halting water transfers and to stop the construction
of Arcedenio Dam. They took initial steps in the creation of a national
environmental ombudsman. About 20,000 indigenous trees were planted
last year for reforestation and wood products. Several large corporate
donations were obtained. The AdL plans to host the Ibero-American Conference
with Living Lakes, the Global Nature Fund, and international partner
lake representatives in March
right here in Chapala.
