Developing nations hit hardest by climate change say they were pressured to accept an ‘insultingly low’ deal at the UN’s #COP29 summit in Azerbaijan, where wealthy nations pledged to give $300B dollars a year by 2035.

💔 Today, the Bern Convention voted to lower the wolf's protection status. It's extremely disappointing to see the EU & other countries prioritise political decisions over science Instead of supporting coexistence measures, we backtrack on our own conservation success!

Latest episode in the wolf saga: The Bern Convention today agreed to downgrade the protection status of wolves from 'strictly protected' to 'protected' following a push by the EU. The 🇪🇺Commission will now work on an amendment to the Habitats Directive. politico.eu/article/europe…

Big relief indeed !!!
