EU lawmakers approved a report on the EU’s 2030 Biodiversity Strategy on Tuesday night (8 June), calling for legally binding measures to protect nature and biodiversity. A heated debate was sparked by amendments calling for forest protection to be weakened, which were eventually rejected. EURACTIV France reports. The MEPs, who voted 515 in favour and 90 against the report, repeated their call to ensure that at least 30% of the EU’s land and sea be protected by 2030, of which at least one-third – including all remaining primary and old-growth forests in the EU – should be given even stricter protection. MEPs also said the bloc needs legally binding measures to protect nature and biodiversity, pointing to previous initiatives that had failed to deliver.
