Switzerland: (RightNow). Swiss scientists have begun using sheep wool to prevent glaciers from melting rapidly. This experiment is part of the ‘Keep It Wool’ project conducted on the Tsanfleuron Glacier.

The project involves covering 200 square meters with wool blankets. Researchers compared their performance with artificial sheets during the summer.

According to Timothy Steiner, the results have proven the effectiveness of natural wool in slowing down ice melting. These findings are impressing experts.

It is important to note that the most effective way to save glaciers is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The use of artificial or natural covers is limited in scope.

This experiment could pave the way for protecting glaciers in a natural and eco-friendly manner. Further research may provide new utility for discarded sheep wool.
