Over 100 million lakes dot the planet, holding most of the world’s surface freshwater. But many are drying, flooding, turning green or vanishing. What’s happening to one of Earth’s most vital ecosystems? On #WorldLakeDay, explore what can still be done: www.unep.org/news-and-sto...

Lakes are essential to life. They hold most of the world’s freshwater, but are degrading faster than any other ecosystem.

We're celebrating the Wolastoq watershed and the people working to restore it. 💙 We spoke with Lauren Verner (Nature NB) and our own Kristyn Lyons about an essential part of the solution: local farmers and landowners. Their work to restore riparian zones is helping bring the watershed back to life.

As Lake Superior warms, it's growing greenish clouds of blue-green algae, which is actually a bacteria. One researcher is tracking it himself, saying authorities aren't acting fast enough to educate the public about preventing blooms and avoiding their dangers. thenarwhal.ca/lake-superio...
