Long Live Mono Lake

Mono Lake is a saline lake in the Eastern Sierra. Its water sources have been diverted to Los Angeles for more than 80 years, threatening its unique ecosystem. Even though the lake was ordered to rise to a healthy level in the mid-1990s it’s only halfway there, putting migratory birds, air quality, and scenic values at risk. Since 1978 the Mono Lake Committee has worked to protect Mono Lake, restore its tributary streams and surrounding lands, and educate the next generation about wise water use.
