<div><span style="color: #000000;">Women and girls are playing pivotal roles in climate solutions, yet their work is often not seen, supported, or recognized. Guided by three core scientific principles that include protecting 50% of Earth, shifting to regenerative agriculture, and renewable energy, Daughters for Earth is focused on three goals: </span></div> <div><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></div> <div><span style="color: #000000;">Goal #1 – <b>Rapidly fund Daughters on the frontlines.</b> Women are leading some of the most important efforts to protect and restore the Earth but lack the funding they need to sustain and grow their efforts. </span></div> <div><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></div> <div><span style="color: #000000;">Goal #2 – <b>Mobilize Daughters at the grassroots level to make changes in their lives and communities.</b> Women and girls everywhere could be a “Powerhouse for Change” but their potential remains untapped. </span></div> <div><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></div> <div><span style="color: #000000;">Goal #3 -<b> Raise public awareness about the role of women in solving the climate crisis.</b> Daughters voices must be heard, and their leadership recognized. </span></div> <div><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></div> <div><span style="color: #000000;">Learn more at <a href="http://www.daughtersforearth.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">www.daughtersforearth.org</a> today. </span></div>

The work has already resulted in numerous educational films, event and talks. And more is to come. The documentation of life in Swedish waters is continuing. Dedicated photographers, film makers and experts, are spending whole seasons in the field to reveal interesting happenings.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p> <p><strong><span lang="EN-US">The project</span></strong><span class="apple-converted-space"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></span><span lang="EN-US">aims to raise awareness of the factors behind declining fish stocks – both in Scandinavia and worldwide. Over-fishing, hydro power, industrial waste, plastic, overfertilization, climate change, habitat loss and poaching are just some of the threats facing these unique habitats.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p> <p><strong><span lang="EN-US">By presenting beautiful</span></strong><span lang="EN-US">, compelling imagery of our aquatic ecosystems, it is more likely that people in general, as well as decision makers, will engage in preserving these most precious of resources. Seeing the ecosystems beneath the surface with your own eyes, gives a more profound understanding of their importance to us humans – and hopefully they will be more difficult to ignore.</span></p> <p>Learn more: <a href="https://www.ecofilm.se/en/projects/fish-in-focus/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a></p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Thiamine, an essential vitamin in our cells, responsible for basic metabolic functions in all biological cells. Deficiency results in disturbance of metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids and protein, the most basic compounds. As a consequence, the secondary effects of thiamine deficiency are devastating, such as a defect immune system against bacteria, fungus and virus, degree of aggression, laboured respiration, worsening sensory functions, reduced growth, and very serious effects on reproduction, including direct mortality.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Thus, thiamine deficiency results in a whole spectrum of serious disorders, some obvious and easy to diagnose, others are more subtle and could be mistaken for other disorders. The list of affected species from different animal classes is getting long and now includes mussels, fish, reptiles, mammals, insects and birds.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">The overall goal of the research is now to find the underlying cause of thiamine deficiency, i.e., how and by what it arises in our ecosystems.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Learn more: <a href="https://www.tiaminbrist.se/artiklar-44334259">website</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>The Baltic Sea</strong> is one of the world’s most polluted seas and has a dead zone twice the size of Denmark. Race For The Baltic is a solution and business-oriented non-profit organisation founded by Zennström Philanthropies, whose mission is to improve the health of the Baltic Sea.</p> <p><strong>To achieve the most impact</strong>, they focus their efforts on the predominant issue, namely eutrophication, which causes dead bottoms, algae blooms, fish mortality, and poor water transparency. Race For The Baltic work in collaboration with researchers, governmental institutions, other non-profit organisations, the private sector, and entrepreneurs.</p> <p><strong>Their primary aim</strong> is to ‘bend the curve’ on eutrophication and reach a state where the Baltic Sea starts restoring itself, by 2030.</p> <p>Learn more: <a href="https://www.raceforthebaltic.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a></p>
