Nature and the ecosystems that help us live are in big trouble. Things like large-scale farming, cutting down forests, spreading cities, and pollution are hurting biodiversity in Europe. This puts thousands of animals and habitats at risk. Changes to rivers and lakes, like building dams and taking too much water, along with invasive species and the climate crisis, damage our ecosystems. How can ensure we take care of our nature world?

Sustainable technologies like agroecology, green infrastructure, and nature-based solutions can mitigate these impacts but often lack funding due to corporate lobbying.
Governments should prioritize sustainable practices by redirecting subsidies from harmful industries, enforcing stringent environmental regulations, and investing in green infrastructure. The European Union can lead by leveraging policies like the Common Agricultural Policy and the European Green Deal.
Public advocacy is crucial. Citizens can support sustainable practices through their choices and by lobbying politicians for stronger environmental protections and funding for sustainable technologies. Governments can protect habitats, incentivize sustainable agriculture, invest in green infrastructure, fund sustainable technology research, promote waste reduction and recycling, and involve citizens in environmental decisions.
By adopting these measures, we can protect biodiversity and ensure a sustainable future.
