The Pamvotida Lake Management Body of Ioannina (F.D.L.P.I.) is a Legal Entity of Private Law, of a non-profit nature, supervised by the Minister of Environment and Energy (MINE) and managed by a 7-member Board of Directors. Purpose of the F.D.L.P.I. is the preservation of the natural ecosystem, the restoration and maintenance of the ecological balance of Pamvotida while simultaneously developing activities that harmonize with the natural environment and adopt the principle of sustainability. Therefore, information-awareness is a primary concern of the F.D.L.I.P.I., as it can contribute decisively to the redefinition of the relationship between man and the natural environment, but also to the active participation of citizens in environmental issues and in particular in the problems that facing the lake.
Information and activities are approached according to age, interests and available time. Emphasis is placed on the human-nature relationship, on the active participation of the students while simultaneously stimulating all the senses (touch, hearing, sight, smell, taste) and on contact with the natural environment. Environmental information-awareness programs include lake ecosystem interpretation in the field, bird observation-identification, ppt presentations, discussions, documentaries, constructions, painting and environmental games on the theme of the lake and its biodiversity, etc.
The school units have the possibility to choose between the environmental programs carried out either in the school units or in the infrastructures of the F.D.L.P.I. The infrastructures that F.D.L.P.I. has completed and uses for the needs of information and awareness are the Lake Pamvotida Information Center on the Island of Ioannina, as well as the "Lake Pamvotida Ecosystem Interpretation Park" in the Botanical area of Ioannina. in some cases the programs are adapted according to the age of the students.
Also, the F.D.L.P.I. participates every year in a number of events related to getting to know the environment and biodiversity of the area, its protection, the development of environmental awareness and informing the public.
