Government Launches Ecological Initiative to Protect Ohrid Lake
A significant international effort to clean Ohrid Lake is underway, commencing at Ohrid Beach in Kaliste, near the Ohrid Beach Hotel. The Macedonian government is spearheading this initiative with the primary goal of raising awareness regarding the ecological challenges facing the lake and fostering a renewed appreciation for its protection. The project draws support from a diverse group of participants, including clubs and students from the Republic of Macedonia, alongside volunteers and enthusiasts from Serbia and Croatia.
Individuals representing environmental activist groups and nature lovers are actively engaged in practical cleanup efforts. Key supporting organizations include the Ohrid Underwater Activities Club “Ohrid Pulse” and the Ohrid Scout Club “Scout” from Struga, who continue their established work protecting the area. The initiative focuses on highlighting the importance of preserving one of the region’s most valuable natural assets – Ohrid, a renowned lake.
