European Union: nature restoration law definitively adopted thanks to Austria's surprise support!
Good news for the ocean 🙌 The States of the European Union have definitively adopted the Nature Restoration Act!
This decision marks a significant step forward in the fight against biodiversity loss! 🌿
Thanks to this law, by 2030, ecosystem restoration measures will be introduced on 20% of EU-wide land and marine areas, and 30% of habitats (wetlands, forests…) in poor condition will be restored.
Other provisions aim to improve criteria for measuring forest health, remove dams from rivers, halt the decline of bees and strengthen the resilience of the seas, the world’s largest carbon reservoir.
This adoption is a historic victory for nature and society, and a turning point for ocean preservation. At Pure Ocean, we welcome this step forward and hope that governments will implement the text correctly and without delay. Let’s work together to protect our biodiversity!
