New State of Nature report points to persisting pressures on Europe's nature

Today the European Commission published its latest assessment of the state of nature in the  European Union. It provides a comprehensive overview of the situation of Europe's most vulnerablespecies and habitats protected under EU nature laws. 

The report underlines the clear need for action if we are to have any serious chance of putting Europe's biodiversity on a path to recovery by 2030, as envisaged in the new EU Biodiversity Strategy. In this regard, the full implementation of the goals and targets proposed in the Strategy, as well as in the Farm to Fork Strategy will be essential.
