EU Biodiversity Strategy Actions Tracker

In the EU Biodiversity Strategy to 2030, the EU and its Member States have committed to implement more than 100 measures by 2030, including the EU Nature Restoration Plan to protect and restore at least 30% of the degraded and carbon-rich ecosystems by law.  In Austria as in most EU countries, conservative parties and interest groups have spoken out against the EU Nature Restoration Law.  With slander, deception, and misleading statements, they defend the “business-as-usual” approach to agriculture, forestry, and land use.  They, industry lobby groups, and their political allies argue against the interests of the population and small farmers, forest owners, and businesses that have an economic interest in restoring nature and protecting their living space, nature, and the environment.
