The Experiment of a Lifetime: IISD Experimental Lakes Area Annual Report 2023-2024
Yep, it’s the big one. It is with great pride, excitement—and a touch of incredulity—that IISD and the Experimental Lakes Area clink our glasses to toast the end of our first decade together.
It was over ten years ago in 2014 that the Experimental Lakes Area was taken under the wing of Winnipeg-based think tank the International Institute for Sustainable Development, not only to prevent our closure but to usher in a whole new era for those iconic 58 freshwater lakes and their watersheds.
- So, what has the last decade achieved?
- Is science really the best policy?
- How far have we opened our doors to the world?
- And who are Darla and Souris?
Discover all of that and more by diving into the latest annual report from the world's freshwater laboratory.
