Another morning, another day at #LPS25! And a reminder that even small patches of urban #grassland can support remarkable wildlife.
Spotted this European brown hare just minutes from the conference venue, right here in Vienna.

At #LPS25, today’s session on the Nature Restoration Regulation stressed the need for co-design, standardisation, and interoperable platforms to support monitoring 🛰️ and reporting.
