🚌Nearly 200,000 voices have one message for @jessikaroswall.ec.europa.eu: STOP THE OMNIBUS

The EU is quietly considering changes that threaten vital nature protections

We say: #HandsOffNature🌍
Clean air, safe water and healthy forests are not up for negotiation

Our own OmniBus is hitting the streets today

"Dog ate my homework": @ec.europa.eu loses face over #EUDR 'IT problems' 😱

A massive embarrassment for @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu!

Shows lack of political will, caving into #deregulation pressure & stranding corporate investments

🚨 We’re losing 1 tree every second.

Forever.

Just because of EU consumption.

🌳But the EU Deforestation Regulation, which is set to apply in less than 100 days, can stop this destruction.

Don’t let the EU tear down nature protection ❌

The European Commission is quietly trying to dismantle the laws that safeguard what we cherish most: our nature.

They think we wouldn’t notice or care. But we do.

Tell them to keep their #HandsOffNature 👉 www.wwf.eu/campaigns/it...

Today is the 1-year anniversary for the EU Nature Restoration Law, which entered into force on 18 August 2024! 🎉💚

Now, EU countries are preparing national plans to #RestoreNature so we can have more incredible restoration projects in Europe!

🔑 Ambitious & sound restoration plans = key to success!

"The objection to #EUDR benchmarking is the roar of a paper tiger—loud but lacking any legal bite. @ec.europa.eu must stay focused on implementing EUDR based on the methodology already adopted & approved by Member States, not cave to political theatre."

Meta apologises for 'glitch'. On Weds, teenagers & kids were exposed to visuals of a man trampled by an elephant, a boy shot dead by a street gang, a person killed by a train, etc. Traumatising. This has far reaching consequences on youngsters. Policy makers should take urgent measures. #Restrict

There are many threats to our democracy - but NGOs are NOT one of them!

Fully independent, non-partisan & supported by millions, we bring science-based recommendations for nature & climate to EU policy.

NGOs are essential, corporate lobbying is the real problem
Critics allege, in an increasingly aggressive tone, that NGOs “misuse” these funds to unduly and secretly influence EU decision-making, and that this constituted a “scandal”. Let’s be clear: there is ...

💔 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: www.wwf.eu?16132891/Nat...

Wolf populations are still recovering in Europe 🐺

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

We checked the justifications provided by the European Commission 👉 wwfeu.awsassets.panda.org/downloads/le...
