European Parliament Approves Landmark Nature Restoration Law

The law aims to restore 20% of the EU's land and sea areas by 2030, despite opposition from farmers and conservative factions.

The European Parliament has passed a significant nature restoration law, aiming to restore at least 20% of the EU's land and sea areas by 2030.
The law has faced strong opposition from farmers across Europe, who are concerned about its impact on their livelihoods and have staged widespread protests.
Conservative factions, particularly the European People's Party (EPP), voted against the bill, arguing it imposes excessive burdens on farmers.
Environmental groups and other political factions have praised the law as a crucial step towards combating climate change and biodiversity loss.
The law now awaits formal adoption by EU member states, after which it will officially enter into force.
