National Living Lakes Network Italy: "Living Lakes Italia"
During the Sport-Environment-Conference at Lake Trasimeno, the Italian lake network "Living Lakes Italia" was founded on 15 June 2007. This network, which is coordinated by GNF’s partners at Lake Trasimeno, is to facilitate the collaboration between members and spread the organisational burden. The members plan joint activities and projects in environmental and nature conservation.
Next to Lake Trasimeno, the lakes Bolsena, Garda, Piediluco and Maggiore are also members of this new partnership.
In spring 2008, Lake Vico and Lake Orta became also members of the national network Living Lakes Italia. In July 2008, the lakes Bracciano, Albano and Nemi were accepted as members in the network.
The "Living Lakes Italia" partner lakes are introduced below.
