Environmental technology, nature and biodiversity
Environmental technology, nature and biodiversity
As a means to prevent biodiversity loss and reduce the exploitation of natural resources, our research strengthens efforts to protect and restore ecosystems and reduce CO2 emissions. Research efforts to monitor, report, prevent, and remedy pollution from the air, water, soil, and consumer products are focal.
Research areas
- Alternatives to pesticides.
- Conservation of biodiversity in terrestrial, marine, and freshwater systems.
- Sustainable fisheries.
- Monitoring the environmental status and conserving biodiversity using new tools and smart solutions (including drones and eDNA).
- Securing the use of microbes to ensure a good environment and drinking water, sustainable development, resource recycling, and animal and human health.
Did you know...
… that the global population of wild species has fallen by 60% over the last 40 years. 1 million species are at risk of extinction.
Collaboration with companies on impact
The film presents the sustainable focus area of Environmental technology, nature and biodiversity. The focus area works to develop methods to monitor, report, prevent and reduce pollution in air, water and soil. The film describes, among other things, the DNA segmentation method in aquatic environments, which we collaborate with Krüger A/S on.
