Established in 2005 as a charitable, non-profit ENGO by a group of concerned citizens, the Lake Winnipeg Foundation (www.lakewinnipegfoundation.org) is dedicated to restoring and protecting the health of Lake Winnipeg and its watershed. It promotes the use of scientifically-based, sustainable lake and watershed management practices in all economic activities. Over 80% of the money it raises is used to support projects intended to reduce nutrient and surface water loading to steams, to restore and preserve wetlands, to create new research data, and to provide student training in ecosystem science. Examples of funded projects will be provided. Recognizing water quality deterioration as a global problem, the Lake Winnipeg Foundation joined the Global Nature Fund’s Living Lakes Network, uniting with other ENGOs to confront the dilemma.
