Subject: Groundbreaking Sustainability Research; Reform of Researchers’ Evaluation and More
| |
The Frontiers Planet Prize recognizes and rewards scientists whose groundbreaking research accelerates solutions to help humanity remain safely within the nine planetary boundaries. In its second edition, the Prize honored the contributions of three scientists: - Dr. Pedro Jaureguiberry from the Multidisciplinary Institute of Plant Biology in Argentina, whose research addresses the drivers of global anthropogenic biodiversity loss;
- Prof. Dr. Peter Haase from the Senckenberg Society for Nature Research in Germany, who highlights the vital importance of preserving freshwater ecosystems with legislative action;
- Prof. Jason Rohr from the University of Notre Dame in the USA, who demonstrates how community-driven agricultural practices can reduce the prevalence of schistosomiasis, a disease affecting hundreds of millions globally.
