1. The one benefit of Brexit was a new farm subsidy system, paying for public goods like ecological restoration. But now the government has frozen the new grants, while swiftly cutting off the old ones, leaving farmers high and dry. It's deeply unfair and highly destructive. 🧵

Almost all presentations from the Strict Protection event in Brussels (12-13 November 2024) are now available online: biogeoprocess.net/past-events/. The Report of the event is currently with the EU Environment and will be finalised and posted in January 2025.

At the end of 2024, the Natura 2000 Biogeographical Process is finishing. Still, lots of work to do, and many challenges ahead. We hope that Member States continue their efforts, to conserve our habitats and species of community interest! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
