EU deploys record wildfire response for 2026: 777 firefighters and 27 aircraft across Europe. After 2025 burned over 1 million ha, the largest in EU records, prevention and resilience matter as much as response: https://t.co/LbiJJssGq4

Our new viewer, part of the #Environment & #Health Atlas, shows that vulnerable & lower-income communities are often more exposed to environmental risks, worsening existing health & social inequalities.

Knowing who is most affected is key to a healthier & fairer Europe

Yes, we face a biodiversity crisis. But yes recovery is possible. When pressures are reduced, nature can and does bounce back.

Safeguarding biodiversity means safeguarding our shared future. 🌍

[EU EnvironmentAgency @EUEnvironment]

Today is the International Day for Biological Diversity, and we're marking it by answering the web's most searched questions on biodiversity.

What is it? Why does it matter? Is it really declining? And can we turn things around?

The EEA helps safeguard pollinator habitats by providing key information and promoting essential measures to protect Europe’s pollinators and their crucial role in ecosystem services, including those vital for agriculture and food production.

Happy Bee Day! Our nature protection expert, Brian MacSharry, shares some advice on what we can do to protect bees:

[EU EnvironmentAgency @EUEnvironment]

- Encourage your local council to leave intact spaces in green areas and develop pollinator corridors
- Organise local workshops and engage with local communities
- Buy local and organic products
- Don’t use pesticides or herbicides when gardening

[EU EnvironmentAgency @EUEnvironment]

Yet wild pollinators are declining rapidly, with around 9% of bee species threatened with extinction. Key drivers include agricultural intensification, urbanisation, invasive species, and climate change.

Today is World Bee Day, and we want to highlight the importance of pollinators — and the alarming decline they are facing.

[EU EnvironmentAgency @EUEnvironment]

While the European honeybee (Apis mellifera) is widely used in commercial crop production, wild pollinators such as wild bees, hoverflies, butterflies, and moths provide a huge share of pollination services and are the true “unsung heroes” of our ecosystems.
