Brunnenbau Charity-Projekt 2023 in Ghana

Brunnenbau Charity-Projekt 2023 in Ghana Das von Biotikon unterstützte „Water is life“-Projekt verwirklichte einen weiteren Brunnenbau direkt an einer Schule in Kuntunse, Ghana.

Are there legal requirements for krill oil harvesting?Krill resources threatened? Whales safe? Krill literally means whale food (Norwegian). Square-kilometer swarms of crustaceans that feed on phyto-plankton provide food in Antarctic waters for five species of whales, four species of seals, 20 species of fish, seabirds and penguins, including the blue whale, the already overfished icefish and the marbled rockcod. The mass of krill crab weight is estimated at 500 million tons....
