Labour will regret its attack on nature Reeves is reported to be contemplating a second planning bill making it far harder for conservationists to hold up infrastructure projects.

Even the @spectator thinks Labour's undervaluing of nature is a vote loser (even though it also does not understand the value of nature)

Following the recent downgrade of the wolf’s protection status across Europe, Sweden takes a step further by almost halving the number of individuals that must remain protected.

🐺MEPs voted to downgrade #Wolves under the #HabitatsDirective.

👀Spot the double standard: while defending slow #AnimalWelfare reform as necessary for democracy & science, @ec.europa.eu has allowed a rushed & unconstitutional wolf law.

Hands off nature! 🐝

Far-right groups are trying to weaken the EU's #HabitatsDirective — one of our strongest nature protection laws. We’ve only got a few days to stop them!

🗳️ Today: MEPs have voted to apply the urgent procedure (Rule 170) to fast-track a targeted amendment to the #HabitatsDirective on #Wolves.

🐺 The proposed downlisting of wolves, aimed at aligning EU protection status with the #BernConvention, marks a significant step forward.

EU countries agreed to change the status of wolves, with no other changes to the nature protection rules.

The EP, however, may still decide differently and try to further slash them down.

Lawmakers in the European Parliament are aghast at Slovakia's push to kill hundreds of bears, with MEPs from several political groups demanding the Commission take action to halt the slaughter.

⚠️ At the same time, the #EuropeanCommission has proposed weakening protections under the EU #HabitatsDirective, aiming to downgrade wolves' strict protection and open the door to broader hunting and lethal control measures across the EU.

The Commission has wasted no time in making the downgrading of #wolves' protection official as it presented a new "targeted" proposal to revise the EU's #HabitatsDirective

The move could open the floodgates for other species.

Increasing enforcement is part of President @vonderLeyen’s political guidelines, and @CostasKadis is meeting with his services to investigate how to do this. And yet, there seems to be little appetite to address #bottomtrawling in #MPAs, 33 YEARS after #HabitatsDirective

Worryingly, the vote signals a backtracking on the EU’s own conservation successes. This could trigger further assaults on the #HabitatsDirective at a time when @ec.europa.eu is actually asking Member States to increase their ambition on #biodiversity and implement the #NatureRestorationLaw. /end

🐺 🎧 Today I had the pleasure to join the “Today in the EU” podcast, and talk about the political motives that explain the downgrade of the wolf protection status, the risks it entails, and what is says about the EU's biodiversity policy.

"Downgrading a species' strict protection status for the political gain of a few, against scientific evidence, puts decades of conservation efforts at risk,“ said WWF’s Sabien Leemans

Europe weakens wolf protection EU Member States voted in favour of the European Commission’s proposal to downgrade the protection status of the wolf under the Bern Convention

🐺 #Wolf - We don't think today's COREPER decision to delist #Wolves in the Bern Convention is right. Shooting this key species will not solve coexistence challenges. And: we cannot afford messing up with the #HabitatsDirective - many other tasks waiting. We i.a. need a #RestoreNature Fund!
