Lake Sevan Day in Armenia
August 30 · Level 2 · #1809 of 2238
Armenia’s Lake Sevan Day draws attention to a lake that matters far beyond its beautiful shoreline. Protecting it means caring for freshwater resources, distinctive wildlife and the communities whose lives are tied to the water.
How it is celebrated: environmental groups and volunteers organize shoreline cleanups and awareness activities. They explain threats from pollution, the importance of protecting local species and practical ways visitors can reduce their impact.
Sevan sits about 1,900 metres above sea level. Its native trout, known as ishkhan, originated in this particular lake.
