Association for the Safeguard of Lake Geneva

Educating young people and making them more aware of the importance of preserving the lake is a priority for the ASL. The better they understand the issues, the better they will be able to deal with them.

Lake Geneva, a veritable natural jewel, is home to an exceptional wealth of biodiversity and history. Its waters are home to numerous species, making Lake Geneva a vitally important ecosystem. Since 1980, the ASL has been
working on a daily basis to ensure that the lake’s waters and its tributaries remains as pure as possible.

Practical activities and awareness :
➤ Net'Léman, the great lake clean-up, which removes several tons of rubbish from the lake each year.
➤ Stop Knotweed, a fight against the proliferation of knotweeds, invasive plants that threaten the biodiversity of the lake's shores.
➤ Pla'stock, a study of macro- and microplastics on the beaches of Lake Geneva.
➤ Education program for youth and schools
➤ Editing of a quarterly revue journal : “Lémaniques”
