Across the world, forest destruction is increasing, fuelling the climate crisis and collapsing ecosystems. The #EUDR is the beginning of the forest fightback. President @vonderleyen: #DefendEUDR by ensuring timely & full implementation, release the Guidance now!
Indonesian NGOs urged the @EU_Commission Commission to assess the risks of delaying action on the EU #Deforestation Regulation.
