lake

A man-made lake situated in the center of Baguio City, Philippines is a well-liked spot for both tourists and residents due to the surrounding lush pine trees and scenic walking routes. It serves as a place of sanctuary for many aquatic plants and animals.

 

Since the lake depends on the local natural resources for its water supply and maintenance, its environment and ecosystem are intimately related. In light of environmental issues like pollution and silt buildup in recent years, community organizations and local government have been working to save and restore the lake's ecosystem. The ecological equilibrium of the lake is maintained through frequent clean-up campaigns and the application of sustainable methods.
