Finally! Thank you Borrell for this move. Peace in the Middle East can only come with a decisive diplomatic effort from outside.

After a year of unheeded pleas about the situation in Gaza, we cannot continue with business as usual. I have proposed to EU Member States to ban import of products from illegal settlements and to suspend the political dialog with Israel. Read my blog: eeas.europa.eu/eeas/war-gaza-…

#NaturaConnect French Case Study is mapping biodiversity to support France’s 2030 Protected Areas Strategy, aligned with 30x30 targets. They use data-driven models to pinpoint biodiversity hotspots and guide protection efforts. Discover more in our video:


A small but important step towards the objective of restoring 25K km of free-flowing rivers in Europe. Important because shows that rewilding rivers is possible, even where the bureaucracy is not straightforward. Very proud of the team! This is an example that must be scaled up

🇬🇧 One of our most beautiful #rewildingdreams has come true! The #removal of five #barriers on the #giovencoriver, in the @Parcoabruzzo, has been completed, and now its waters are flowing freely once again! @openrivers @RewildingEurope Read the article: rewilding-apennines.com/news/rewilding…

🌳IIASA scientists show that saving #nature and socio-economic development is not a trade-off. On the contrary, an integrated approach is beneficial to national policies. We share examples from #India, #Brazil and #Indonesia ➡️iiasa.ac.at/news/nov-2024/…

Today, 124 member states voted in favor of a @UN resolution demanding that Israel comply without delay with all of its legal obligations under int’ law and the @CIJ_ICJ ruling. 🇳🇴 was a proud co-sponsor. This is an unequivocal message to Israel and a victory for int’ law.

22 partner institutions across Europe met for the 3rd time to help realise the 4 targets of the EU biodiversity strategy related to protected area placement and effective management, ecological connectivity, restoration and recovery of species and ecosystems. Great progress made!

The #NaturaConnect partners are currently gathered in France for our Consortium Meeting, planning the next steps of the project. 🌍 Today, we are engaging in interactive sessions, including the one on #CARE principles, to help shape our #LearningCourse: buff.ly/3Zub8KW
