Baltic Fish & Habitat Recovery
BOKU Vienna / Austrian Academy of Sciences
Pristine Alpine glaciers are hiding a secret: 20 tonnes of microplastics embedded in ancient ice, now washing into the rivers that supply drinking water to millions. Austrian scientists are mapping where it goes, how fast, and what it does. The mountains aren't as clean as they look — and this research is the first step to fixing it.

Alpine Watershed Protection
Alpine glaciers are melting. GEOMAR scientists map the journey from mountaintop to seagrass meadow, tracking microplastics across Europe's watersheds.
Klimahelden
Felix Finkbeiner was nine when he challenged the UN to plant a trillion trees. Today 12,000 youth climate ambassadors have planted 800,000 trees.
Moorschutz
Germany's peatlands emit 53 million tonnes a year. At Gnarrenburg, rewetting is turning degradation into carbon storage.
Your vote keeps this watershed clean.
