Brussels<\/strong> \u2013 Despite attempts by the conservative European People\u2019s Party group in the European Parliament to shoot down the new EU law to restore nature, the Parliament\u2019s environment committee voted to approve the law. The EU\u2019s nature restoration law, subject to fierce opposition by conservative and right-wing politicians and agribusiness lobbyists, was reported to still be on the \u2018kill list\u2019<\/a> of the EPP group, along with other \u2018green\u2019 legislation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

\u0160pela Bandelj Ruiz, <\/strong>biodiversity expert at Greenpeace Central and Eastern Europe, said: \u201cThe EU\u2019s nature restoration law is a glimpse of hope for severely degraded European nature. The law is already stripped down to less than what scientists say nature needs to protect us from extreme weather and problems with food and water scarcity, and still EPP president Weber wants to shoot it dead. Many ecosystems and species in Europe are on the brink of disappearing forever, but this law could be a first step to turn that around.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n

The EU nature restoration law aims to restore nature in 20% of the EU’s land and sea areas by 2030, and in all degraded areas by 2050. In 2021, the European Environment Agency found that 81% of the EU\u2019s protected ecosystems<\/a> are in either a \u2018poor\u2019 or \u2018bad\u2019 condition. The European Parliament will now vote on the law in its plenary session, followed by approval by national governments early next year.<\/p>\n\n
