Every second week, we will share one or more of our most frequently asked questions along with our answers. Today's questions are about #biodiversity, its current status in Europe and why it is important to preserve it. Biodiversity is the vast array of life on Earth and how it all interacts. 🐍 🐟 🐞 🌻 🌳 Check out the status of biodiversity in your country and in Europe (the BISE platform and the interactive country maps): https://lnkd.in/dcTrG8T6 Explore the key EU policies supporting biodiversity #conservation: https://lnkd.in/dsU4hHiy #YouAskWeAnswer #30YearsAtYourService #Nautra2000 #Birdsdirective #Habitatdirective #EUpolicies

🌊 This past weekend, our colleagues attended the TrygFonden Copenhagen Swim! This annual event provides an opportunity to swim in the canals around the Danish Parliament. The aim is to inspire more people to enjoy the water and foster a swimming culture where everyone can feel safe while embracing the blue nature. 🏊♂️💦 The #EU booth attracted many curious visitors interested in learning about bathing water quality in Europe and the current status in #Copenhagen. Trine Christiansen, leading the work on #freshwater and #bathingwater, was among the many swimmers who took part. Interested in learning more about water quality at bathing sites across Europe? 🌍 Have a read: https://lnkd.in/dthiV7pw #TrygFondenChristiansborgRundtswim #ChristiansborgRundtswim #bathingwater #bathingwaterquality
