Lago Pátzcuaro

Future Prospects?


My understanding from my research on the current human impacts leads me to believe that the protection of Lake Pátzcuaro is in good condition. Recent studies show that the trophic conditions are best during the rainy season (May to October) and locals seem to be aware of the lake’s watershed value, thus prompting them to maintain the good quality of the water. In 2005, Lake Pátzcuaro was designated a Ramsar site for World Wetlands Day. This kind of conscientious behavior by the Mexican government is a positive indication for the preservation of this ecosystem.
