🐺 The wolf debate in the Netherlands has intensified this summer. 🐑 Recent attacks on livestock and encounters with humans and dogs have led to panic and a flurry of misinformation, with some calling for extreme measures. But let's be clear: killing wolves is not the answer. 🌍 These majestic creatures are protected under European law and play a vital role as keystone species in Europe's ecosystems. 💭 We need wolves, and with proper education and preventative measures, coexistence is possible - even in one of Europe's most densely populated countries. ✍ Want to help save our wolves?

Today marks the implementation of the Nature Restoration Law, and we couldn't be more excited! 🤩 This is a historic achievement, setting legally binding targets for member states to restore 20% of land and sea by 2030, with all ecosystems to be restored by 2050. This milestone is the result of years of advocacy and relentless campaigning by the #RestoreNature movement to make the Nature Restoration Law a reality. 📽️ Watch our video recap of the campaign and let's join forces to revive our rivers, forests, seas, wetlands and green our cities across Europe! 🦋

🤔 Did you know that under the #AarhusConvention, every individual has the right to be included in decision-making about the environment? 🌍 This landmark agreement empowers citizens to have a say in policies that impact their surroundings, improving transparency and accountability from decision-makers. 🌿👥 Just by being involved you can help combat #Citizenwashing — where superficial engagement masks a lack of genuine involvement. When we make our voices heard and demand meaningful dialogue, we hold leaders accountable and contribute to more informed, democratic decisions. Learn more about citizenwashing and how the term can be used to support efforts at improving public participation 👉https://lnkd.in/eBwZFP7s

🐺 Wolves have a vital role in our ecosystems, helping to maintain balance and diversity. 📖 Instead of investing in hunting or other methods of control, let's focus on education and conservation. 🐑 Investing in knowledge and coexistence is not only a win for wolves, but a step towards a more balanced and resilient environment for us all 💚 📝 Want to help #SavetheWolf?

Across Europe, millions of farmed animals are suffering extreme levels of cruelty 😢 People have demanded improvements over and over. In fact, it's one of the issues that unites all Europeans (in all 27 EU Member States, over 80% of citizens call to #EndTheCageAge) 💪 But the consequences of poor #AnimalWelfare are being felt not only by the sentient beings unfortunate enough to be processed as commodities in this violent mechanised system. It also has dire consequences for: 🌍 our climate, with animal farming causing 70% of EU agricultural GHG emissions 🐟 aquatic ecosystems polluted by uncontrolled levels of animal-derived nutrients, leading to widespread 'deadzones' 🐝 soils and farmland ecosystems, on which food production depends, degraded by intensive production of food for animal feed (relying heavily on harmful synthetic inputs) 😷 people's health, threatened by dangerous levels of water and air pollution, as well as major public health risks of animal-to-human diseases and antimicrobial resistance 🚱 drinking water sources, which are being polluted, depleted and securitised to prop up unsustainable levels of animal agriculture 👨🌾 smaller and medium sized farms undercut by mega factory farms, and fishing communities whose livelihoods are threatened by pollution 🤑 EU taxpayers' money, with current levels of air and water pollution from intensive animal agriculture costing us billions per year 📢 democracy itself, with the voices of millions of Europeans being ignored, and policymakers failing to deliver on legal commitments to legislate to #EndTheCageAge In short, it's out of control. And it's endangering everything that keeps our environment, health, society and planet safe and in balance❗ But it doesn't have to be this way... We are calling for a structural revision of EU animal welfare legislation.

On International Wolf Day, let's take a moment to reflect on the vital role wolves play in our ecosystems and the urgent need to protect them. 🐺 Wolves are a keystone species, crucial to maintaining the health and balance of our natural environment. Yet they are threatened by hunting and habitat loss. 📝 Today we have a chance to make a difference. A petition is circulating to stop the hunting of wolves in the EU and ensure their protection. It is a call to action for all of us who believe in preserving biodiversity and promoting coexistence rather than conflict. ✍️ Your voice matters. By signing and sharing this petition, you can help push for stronger protection and advocate for policies that promote peaceful coexistence and conservation efforts. 🤝 Together, we can work towards a future where wolves and people thrive side by side. 👉 https://lnkd.in/eCiKyas4 #SavetheWolf

''Food systems" – they shape our lives in more ways than we can imagine. But what exactly 𝘢𝘳𝘦 they? 🌽❓ Simply, they encompass everyone involved in bringing food to our tables – from farmers and farm workers to agribusinesses, ecologists, lorry drivers, dieticians, supermarket workers, restaurant owners, food technologists, sanitation workers, consumers and everyone else in between – and the relationships and dynamics that link them 🕸🔗 But in this vast constellation of interrelated actors, something is rotten - and it's pushing our planet towards the brink ⏰ Read on to discover what's at the root of this rot, and what the EU can - and must - do to pull us back from the abyss, and pave the way for a sustainable future of food and farming 👇 #FoodSystems #FoodSecurity #FoodEnvironments #Agriculture #Farming #Agroecology #SustainableFoodSystems #WaterResilience #CAP #OneHealth #HealthyFood #RestoreNature

It's International Day of the World's #IndigenousPeoples! 😱 54% of mining for green transition happens on Indigenous lands. These projects threaten their ways of life AND the planet. 🤝 We need to put Indigenous rights FIRST, with consent for any project that affects their lives. 👉 https://lnkd.in/eAZPPtjQ
