Freshwater landscapes are home to 10% of all known species on Earth but a new IUCN co-authored study reveals 1/4 of freshwater animals at risk of #extinction. 

It is the largest global assessment of freshwater animals on the @IUCNRedList to date.

Today EU #Environment ministers discuss the 🇪🇺 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

The Western European hedgehog’s #conservation status has deteriorated, according to a recent update of the @IUCNRedList. 

Increasing human pressure such as agricultural intensification and urban development, are driving declines.

NEWS: IUCN argues at World Court that States have a legal obligation to fight #ClimateChange.

These obligations are found in the global climate change treaties, but also in other treaties such as those on human rights, biodiversity and others.

🌍 EU reaches deal to delay #EUDR, but keeps legal text intact

🗨️ "Relief that core of law is saved, but delay allows deforestation to continue" @ASchulmeisterO "Major defeat of @EPPGroup efforts to hollow out #EUDR in alliance w/ far right.”

@EU_Commission must now ensure robust implementation!

Wolf populations are still recovering in Europe 🐺

The EU's push to lower its protection status lacks scientific basis & creates a dangerous precedent for nature conservation.

We check the justifications provided by the European Commission 👉 https://t.co/9hTxlffcXE

[WWF EU @WWFEU]

💔 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!

NSC kon vandaag de extra bezuiniging op ontwikkelingssamenwerking van 319 mln -die niet in het regeerakkoord stond- repareren, maar geeft niet thuis.
Ze steunt de ondermijning van onze internationale positie door het Kabinet en toont geen solidariteit met de armsten ter wereld.
