How Can We Help Our Rivers? New Study Shows Problems And Opportunities In The Protection Of River Biodiversity
An international research team led by Senckenberg scientist Prof. Dr. Peter Haase has evaluated global biodiversity protection measures in rivers. Their study in “Nature Reviews Biodiversity” reveals that many protection and renaturation efforts achieve only limited success. Sustainable protection of river ecosystems requires holistic, transnational measures involving various social groups.
For more than four decades, I have found and made a home for many loved objects in our New York City apartment 12 stories up. My husband, Howard, and I moved in just before the birth of our first son, Carter, followed by his brother, Sam, three years later. Who knew that after all this time we would still be here, surrounded by so many of the same things we started out with—and a lot more! Taking a quick tour I see paintings galore, samplers, original children’s artwork, pot holders and pincushions, painted furniture, dangling paper chains over the bed, and shelves and stacks of books, books, and more books. Slowly, these rooms have filled up with the essentials—not the sofas and chairs or a dining table, but the really essential things, the things we have collected, made, or been given that tell the stories of who we are. The things that make a home a home—a scrapbook of our living.
Whether an apartment, a house, a cottage by the sea, or a cabin in the woods, our homes today are our entire universe—our offices, our restaurants, our gyms, the schools for our children, and our hubs for both reaching out and reflecting. When I finally leave my computer—and my tablet and phone are recharging—I find time to recharge myself by curling up on my sofa and taking a new look at some of the things I’ve lived with for years.

Sustainable river biodiversity protection demands more than isolated fixes — it requires basin-wide, collaborative efforts that unite science, policy, and community action.
