- UNESCO Green Citizens David Bourcart (River Whale) and Mirella Gallardo (Ancestral Technologies and Climate Change) share their inspiring stories about water.
David Bourcart, along with Brice Pasquier and Sébastien Maréchal, created the company H2OPE to fight the pollution of rivers, streams and oceans and actively participate in the preservation of the environment. In 2017, these three Frenchmen came up with the principle of a mesh of collectors and developed the River Whale concept. Inspired directly by a whale and its baleen, it filters water and retains waste. By acting 24 hours a day, and thanks to regular surveys of the waste captured, this project makes it possible to act significantly on the mass of waste in circulation. The waste can thus retain its recyclability potential, avoiding a stay in the water that causes its progressive degradation into micro-waste. www.unesco.org...
Mirella Gallardo Marticorena is the executive director of Instituto de Montaña (@tmiperu), where she has worked since 2014. Ancestral Technologies and Climate Change is a project by Instituto de Montaña that helps communities in Peru's Nor Yauyos Cochas Landscape Reserve combat water scarcity. By restoring an ancient hydraulic system, they have increased water storage, improved irrigation, and reduced fire risks. This collaboration between indigenous experts and scientists enhances resilience against climate extremes and boosts agricultural productivity: www.unesco.org...
