The researchers advise against subsidising small hydropower plants unless adequate fish protection is implemented. 5 October 2020 focus Remote sensing data could make it easier to monitor and protect lakes in the future In an interview, Stella Berger and Sabine Wollrab report on the first results from the CONNECT project. They also talk about why it is particularly interesting to work in a multidisciplinary team, and how this benefits the project. 21 September 2020 press release Citizen science: research project on light pollution seeks support What effect does street lighting have on insects and what could an environment-friendly lighting design look like? This is what researchers are investigating together with citizen scientists in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Hesse and Brandenburg. 16 September 2020 short news IUCN EICAT standard launched The new EICAT standard is a simple and objective tool that classifies alien species by the severity and type of their known environmental impacts. 14 September 2020 press release Dams exacerbate the consequences of climate change on river fish Dams restrict the habitats of fish, but do not necessarily prevent the spread of invasive species.

It crosses ten countries, running over 2,800 kilometres from source to mouth, is a border river, and has been used as a passage for trade for millennia: the Danube is a veritable transnational river – and a challenge for freshwater management. 16 June 2020 press release Cattle vs. hippopotamus: Dung in rivers of the savannah When hippos are displaced by large herds of cattle in Kenya, aquatic ecosystems change.
