Philippe attends the 1st Sino-Canada Workshop on Plateau Lakes Research in China

Philippe attends the 1^st Sino-Canada Workshop on Plateau Lakes Research in Kunming, China, July 18-24, 2015. The Plateau Lakes in Yunnan Province represent one of China’s main freshwater resources. They are, however, experiencing rising anthropogenic pressures, including rapid urbanization, invasive species and non-point source pollution. At the workshop, Chinese and Canadian researchers review the environmental and ecological issues in the Plateau Lakes, and explore possible collaborative research projects that may help inform efforts to protect and rehabilitate the lakes.
