"Dog ate my homework": @ec.europa.eu loses face over #EUDR 'IT problems' 😱 A massive embarrassment for @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu! Shows lack of political will, caving into #deregulation pressure & stranding corporate investments www.wwf.eu?19285941/The... #Together4Forests #HandsOffNature

🚨 We’re losing 1 tree every second. Forever. Just because of EU consumption. 🌳But the EU Deforestation Regulation, which is set to apply in less than 100 days, can stop this destruction. ✊Join us! Stand #Together4Forests! 🌳Find out more: together4forests.eu/trees

👀We have eyes on the next EU budget, but the EU budget no longer has eyes for nature. ❌35% environment target risks leaving nature behind ❌LIFE programme chopped up ❓Yes to phasing out environmentally harmful subsidies, but with a caveat 👀 tinyurl.com/WWFMFF2 🧵👇

🌞 From rooftops to rural land, with thoughtful planning, there is plenty of room for clean energy while protecting biodiversity. It's time to make smart use of the space we have and power a future that works for both people and the planet. #EuropeanSolarDay #SolarFacts

🎉 One year ago today, EU countries made history by adopting the Nature Restoration Law – a hard-fought win for Europe's people & nature 💚 Since then, the momentum hasn’t stopped. The fight to #RestoreNature continues – now it’s about turning words into action! www.restorenature.eu/en/our-work-...

❌ “Downgrading wolf protection is a political move disguised as policy - it ignores science, fuels division, and jeopardises one of Europe’s greatest conservation successes," says our NGO coalition. Read our reaction to downlisting wolves: www.wwf.eu?18127416/Eur...

🛑 Today, EU Parliament voted for weaker wolf protection - and this is just the start 🐺 Conservative and far-right parties have flagged their intention to revise Europe’s nature laws. The attack on nature is far from over. Today it’s wolves. Tomorrow - what else? #HandsOffNature

This week, the EU Parliament is voting to downgrade the protection status of wolves, despite a clear lack of scientific evidence. To do so, it has to open up the Habitats Directive, a 30-year-old law that protects our nature. ✊ We can't let this happen. Keep your #HandsOffNature.

Thomas Freisinger of @euronatur.bsky.social states regarding biodiversity funding: nature markets might have the function to hide the fact that the future outlook for biodiversity is very negative. #MFF @sabienleemans.bsky.social www.euractiv.com/section/agri...

👇 🤩 What happens when we give nature a helping hand and restore it? See for yourself below! 👀 This is just a sneak peek of what could be possible with robust implementation of the EU Nature Restoration Law! We call on EU countries to make this a reality and #RestoreNature on a large scale 🌍

💅✨ Wetland glow up anyone? Once a thriving natural marsh, the Gârla Mare wetland had turned into a dry land, vulnerable to further degradation. But nature restoration changed everything! 💦 The Nature Restoration Law is our chance for more success stories like this! 🙌 wwfcee.org/partnerships...

With @ec.europa.eu amending the Habitats Directive I have a déjà vue: In 2015 with #NatureAlert we defended EU's Nature Directives. Lawmakers must not mess up cornerstone legislation when even more #RestoreNature action is needed! PS: T-Shirt @nabu.de intended as gift for @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu!

🐺 EU moves to weaken wolf protection, NGOs warn of wider threats to nature 🍃 After 18 months campaigning, @ec.europa.eu now seeks to open up Europe's oldest environmental law to downgrade wolf protection. This move sets a bad precedent of political games trumping science and public opinion.

🚨 EU sets to weaken wolf protection! 🐺 Today the EU Commission proposed a direct amendment of the wolf protection status under the Habitats Directive, drawing wide criticism from environmental organisations. Our press release: www.birdlife.org/news/2025/03... #Savethewolf #RestoreNature

Brussels opens up Habitats Directive to make wolf status change official

The European Commission has unveiled its long-awaited draft law downgrading the protection status of wolves, which would make it easier for farmers in the European Union to shoot animals that menace their livestock.

🐺 The EU's controversial push against the wolf continues! Today, the European Commission proposed a direct amendment of wolf protection under the Habitats Directive. WWF firmly opposes lowering the wolf’s strict protection status. Our full reaction: www.wwf.eu?17452916/EU-...

🚨 The Bern Convention just downgraded wolf protections after an EU-led push—ignoring science and civil society. This reckless move sets a dangerous precedence of undermining decades of conservation work for political gain. 🌍 Leaders need to remember: Nature is not a political pawn.

🐺 Today, the Bern Convention's decision to weaken #wolf protection officially enters into force. Wolves in Europe are still far from a favourable conservation status: this move threatens their fragile recovery instead of promoting true coexistence and listening to science. #SavetheWolf

🐺 Despite the lack of scientific arguments, the Bern Convention’s decision to downlist wolves enters into force today. “Wolves keep our ecosystems in balance & downgrading their protection could quickly backfire," says @sabienleemans.bsky.social Full reaction: www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

As #COP16 UN talks in Rome have concluded with a hard-fought resolution on biodiversity finance, it's a reminder for the EU to budget to #RestoreNature! That's why we have been calling for a dedicated Nature Restoration Fund 🌳 💸 Read more: www.wwf.eu/wwf_news/pub...

🚨BREAKING EU Vision for Agriculture presents blurred roadmap for transformation 🌱👨🏽‍🌾 Despite a few positive elements, @christophehansen.bsky.social takes only timid steps towards creating a more sustainable food system, failing to address critical issues!

Excellent OpEd from @arielbrunner.bsky.social, Niklas Oppenrieder (Physicians Association for Nutrition) & Silvia Schmidt @organicseurope.bsky.social on food, farming & our future. Agree 100% that an EU Action Plan for Plant-based Foods is sorely needed! www.birdlife.org/news/2025/02...

Reintroducing wolves to Scottish Highlands could help expand native woodlands, says study - Researchers say the animals could keep red deer numbers under control, leading to storage of 1m tonnes of CO2 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Always so divisive...

⌛One year ago today, the EU Commission proposed a 2040 emissions target Since then? ❌ No #ClimateLaw amendments ❌ No 2035 target ❌ No NDC We are tired of waiting! #ClimateActionNow #2040Target @caneurope.org 🔗https://caneurope.org/2040-communication-anniversary/

Today EU #Environment ministers discuss the EU 2040 #ClimateTarget The @EU_Commission’s proposal for a 90% emissions cut isn’t enough Given the climate crisis and the EU's historical emissions, we must aim for #ClimateNeutrality by 2040 at the latest Our position👇 www.wwf.eu?16332866/204...

💔 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: www.wwf.eu?16132891/Nat...

Tomorrow at the Bern Convention Standing Committee meeting, parties will vote on the EU's flawed and unscientific proposal to lower the protection status of the wolf. Parties need to reject this proposal and vote to #ProtectWolves🐺
