Instead, the @ec.europa.eu should:

Europe's nature is absorbing less #CO2. Still nature is our best ally to fix the climate, we just need to let it.
To help us reach our #ClimateGoals EU countries must:
🔒Protect primary & old-growth forests
🌱Rewet peatlands
🌿Forest restoration
🚫Stop land conversion
We know what to do. Let’s do it 💪
