Me when I’m 500 words over the word limit

Our team has been investigating the ecology of snow trout (genus Schizothorax) in Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan. 🐟 Using tools like electrofishing and radiotelemetry, we’re learning about their habitat preferences and how these fish migrate between winter refuges and summer feeding or spawning grounds, with some fish even crossing international borders. These data provide key insights into how #hydropower and river regulation impact biodiversity in Central Asian catchments. 📝 This month, some of our work has been featured in the Austrian magazine FISCH & WASSER, where we bring these findings to a wider public. Science communication is an essential part of what we do: making sure data doesn’t just sit in a report, but sparks curiosity and understanding. Read our article (DE) here: fischundwasser.at/wp-content/upl… 💧The @Hydro4Uproject is about sustainable hydropower in Central Asia, including in-depth ecohydraulic studies with partners such as @SSGKCCULT, @VerhelstPJ, & @m_schletterer. #Hydro4U #SnowTrout #FishEcology #Telemetry #ScienceCommunication #CentralAsia #Biodiversity

On 1 June at #EuroFest 2025 in Astana, Kazakhstan the EU-funded #SECCA project launched the photo exhibition “The EU–Central Asia: Faces of Sustainable Energy Cooperation”🤝including @Hydro4Uproject partner Bakhtiyor Karimov from @tiiameofficial 👉 lnkd.in/e-pSKJ4j

Great to participate in the international conference on nature-based solutions at Green University in Tashkent. Important discussions on air, land, water, & sustainable development.💧🐟 #environment #sustainability #ClimateChange #biodiversity @Hydro4Uproject

Kyzyl-Suu #river in #Kyrgyzstan we've visited on 14th of August. @eDNAcollab @Hydro4Uproject @tiiameofficial

Some photos of Chon Bai Surun and Chon Kyzyl Suu rivers in #Kyrgyzstan we've visited recently with our team. @Hydro4Uproject @eDNAcollab @tiiameofficial

On August 4, @Hydro4Uproject partner @IWMI_ participated & contributed to the International Conference, focusing on improving the environmental situation in the region through the development of green spaces🌳& issues of agricultural development 👉shorturl.at/hFVWX

Happy to share that we @ECoENet went on YouTube. We have an exciting interview with @RoserCasasMulet online. More to come. Stay tuned! @davidevnz @AdevaAna @Davide_Vet 👇👇👇

Yesterday we started our field trip to #Kyrgyzstan and visited Chon-Aksu river in northern part of Issyk-Kul region. @Hydro4Uproject @tiiameofficial

Today we've fished in #Gavasay, #Karaunkur and #Kyzylunkur rivers in #Kyrgyzstan with @bkarimov1960, @RozimovAkbarjon, @omonovo268 and took some lovely pictures. Can't wait to see more sites tomorrow! @Hydro4Uproject @BOKUvienna @tiiameofficial @eDNAcollab

Recently we've visited #Kurshab river in southwestern #Kyrgyzstan, which discharges into Andijan Reservoir. The river is formed at the north slope of the Alay Mountains. @Hydro4Uproject @tiiameofficial @eDNAcollab
