Where aquatic and terrestrial habitats converge, pervading and enriching each other, you find an incredible diversity of lifeforms. But the richness of species is under threat because humans are encroaching on the blue-green habitats.
In the ‘
Blue-Green Biodiversity’ research initiative, researchers from the aquatic research institute Eawag and the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscapre research WSL have investigated biodiversity at the interface between water and land. At the Info Day Special on 3 September 2024, the two research institutes jointly presented the results of selected projects. The most important results and key messages have also been published in the magazine ‘Identifying, preserving and promoting blue-green biodiversity’ which we would like to present to you here.
PDFs and print versions of the magazine are available in German and French only. Selected texts as the interview in chapter 1, the introductions and key messages in chapters 2 to 7 are also available online in English, see below.
