Wir erinnern an einen Teilnehmer der 14. Tour de France: 1920 startet der belgische Radrennfahrer Alfred Mottard das Rennen, muss aber nach einem Sturz auf der ersten Etappe aufgeben. 1944 deportiert ihn die Gestapo ins KZ Buchenwald, später nach Mittelbau-Dora. Dort stirbt er am 24. Januar 1945.
In der Nordsee soll die Natur zurückkehren: Austernbänke, Seegraswiesen und Riffe sollen ganze Ökosysteme neu beleben. Thomas Krumenacker zeigt, was schon gelingt und warum die Umsetzung trotzdem stockt:
Renaturierung: Wird die Nordsee zur ökologischen Großbaustelle?
Neue Austernbänke, Salzwiesen, Riffe, Seegraswiesen und Algenwälder – so sieht es das Nature Restoration Law der EU vor und fordert schnelle Erfolge
