Series Name: Tideland
Series Description: The fragile Wadden Sea is one of Europe’s last true wilderness areas. This immense wetland was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2009, and it was here, in the late 19th century, that modern ecology was born. Today, threatened by climate change, it has become a living laboratory for innovative eco-sustainable practices, as scientists grapple with the pressing challenges of the future. How can we adapt to rising sea levels? How can we protect native species? How can we reduce the impact of fishing and agriculture? How can we promote ever more responsible tourism?
