❓ Did you know that #wolves keep our forests healthy?
As they regulate ungulate populations & reduce the incidence of diseases by killing sick individuals, wolves keep ecosystems in check, saving us millions of euros.
Let's strive for #coexistence with wolves! 🐺

🌳 Given the recent setback over the #NatureRestorationLaw , this is some good news for environmental protection from the EU Council. 👇

Over 80% of European habitats are in poor condition. The EU's #NatureRestorationLaw is crucial, yet Member States' failure to agree puts it at risk. IFAW urges swift support to break the deadlock in the EU Council and safeguard #biodiversity & #sustainability . 🏞️ #RestoreNature

🚨 Update: The EU Council failed to find a majority to support the #NatureRestorationLaw . 🏞️

What was supposedly a rubber-stamp vote has been derailed. Some EU countries have undermined the agreed deal. We call on Belgian Presidency of the Council of the EU 2024 to break this deadlock and #RestoreNature !

In European wildlife conservation, wolves represent a crossroads. Read in Azzedine T. Downes op-ed why the EC proposal to downgrade the #wolf 's protection status in Europe is threating much more than 30 years of efforts for the conservation of this species: linkedin.com/pulse/european…

The #climate & #biodiversity crises are real, but the EU has a special tool to tackle them.
Last year, 🇪🇺 leaders reached a key agreement on the #NatureRestorationLaw .
Now, the EU Council must be a reliable negotiating partner & support the carefully negotiated deal!

The #NatureRestorationLaw deal was made after long negotiations between the EU institutions.

We count on the 🇧🇪 Presidency Belgian Presidency of the Council of the EU 2024 to act as an honest broker & to bring the law over the finish line.

Nature, climate, economy, and citizens cannot wait. #RestoreNature now! 🌳

Last year, a key agreement was struck on the #NatureRestorationLaw . 🤝
Over 1 million citizens, scientists, businesses & NGOs urge the Council of the EU to get it to the finish line.
On Monday, the EU Council must seal the deal! #RestoreNature 🏞️

Nature is our best insurance against floods, droughts, wildfires & heatwaves.💧
The #NatureRestorationLaw will strengthen our rivers, forests or marine habitats to protect us from climate change. 🔥
Over 1 million citizens urge EU Council to support the agreement! #RestoreNature
