Breaking: @euractiv_politics leaked the draft #ECF Competitiveness Fund Regulation proposal for @vonderleyen's next #EUBudget. We'll have to analyse, but:
- How much is in for the green transformation?
- Why is there no earmarking to #RestoreNature or #LIFE?
- What about central management?

Bei der #Hitzewelle und Dürre können doch auch die letzten CDU-Minister nichts mehr gegen mehr Bäume in Städten und gegen mehr artenreiche Landschaftselemente in der Agrarlandschaft, also gegen das #RestoreNature Law haben. Können sie nicht?! #EUGreenDeal
Herr #Rukwied, habe da einen Tipp für Sie und den #Bauernverband: wie wärs mit endlich das Klimaanpassungsgesetz aka #RestoreNature Law unterstützen statt abschießen, wie mit Tierbestandsreduktion zum Emissionen einsparen, wie mit zielgerichtetem Einsatz der Agrarsubventionen zur Transformation & Resilienz?! #EUGreenDeal #Klimakrise #Dürre #Hitzewelle

Als je wil werken in termen van herstel, horen daar niet alleen positieve slogans bij zoals #restorenature maar ook positieve instrumenten. Groene lijsten en beloningen in plaats van rode lijsten en boetes. Alles veranderen is niet makkelijk maar je loopt wel het risico dat het ineens beter gaat.

Sommige #levendendoden zij eigenlijk al dood maar moeten weer tot leven worden gewekt. Dat gaat dan niet om de tyrannosaurus of de wolharige mammoet maar eerder om #systeembouwers of #biobouwers zoals oesters en mosselen. Die zijn zo belangrijk voor waterzuivering dat we ons water niet schoon krijgen als zij er niet zijn. #buildingwithnature #restorenature

After a while once again in the European Parliament. Unfortunately not for new legislative proposals. But to fight fake-news about NGOs and urge for a participatory and transparent democracy including civil society, not only corporates or farm lobby! #LIFE #EUGreenDeal #RestoreNature
Rückblick auf Mittwoch Abend in Stuttgart: ich hörte eine breite Zustimmung zum EU #RestoreNature Law raus. Klar ist auch dass noch eine Menge zu tun bleibt. Aber Niedrigwasserpegel in Rhein und Bodensee zeigen, dass wir das jetzt angehen müssen! #Naturschutz #Klimaschutz
Started the week with an exchange with DG ENER @EUCommission for NABU. Showing implementation gaps for RED-III in Germany. And in general stressing: we need more #renewables. But only with good spacial planning and public participation for acceptance. Not at the cost of nature! #RestoreNature

@afewbugs Yes to ball games but no to golf.
I draw a line at golf. Turn golf courses into public parks, common land and nature reserves instead or rewild them. #RestoreNature #EndGolf
The #rewilded #GolfCourses teeming with life
Jocelyn Timperley, February 14, 2025
"From #Scotland to #California, golf courses are being rewilded – with lofty aims to benefit both people and #nature.
"Sinking into nature comes easy at the #PlockOfKyle. I visit this tiny wedge of parkland on the west coast of Scotland, just across the bridge from the Isle of Skye, on a rainy day in late September, and park ranger Heather Beaton and I spend the afternoon wandering around its various #ecosystems-in-miniature.
"We clamber over rocks at one of its little hidden natural harbours. We freeze as black darter dragonflies land on her pink shoe by a pond. And we bend to peer at circles of huge mushrooms which have sprung up overnight in its tiny woodland.
"A #WildflowerMeadow, ponds, scrub habitat, coastline and even an area of peat bog can be found on this little 60-acre (24-hectare) plot, which boasts roe deer, otters, lizards, eels and a huge array of insects and birds. 'We do describe it as a microcosm of Scotland,' says Beaton. 'If you think of all of the major habitats of Scotland, we've got them here on the Plock, just in miniature.' It's an impression she works to cultivate. 'The more little pockets we have, the more chance a person has to... end up having a nature experience,' she says.
"All of these habitats had fallen into serious disarray until a few years ago, says Beaton. In fact, most of this area used to be a golf course.
"The Plock is part of a small but significant global trend of land once used for golf being turned back over to nature. From #California to #Pennsylvania and #Australia to #Canada, these projects are reaping in some big rewards for both #biodiversity and local people."

Building bridging structures, involving regional facilitators & managing actor expectations are key to motivating & empowering farmers for collaborative agri-environmental governance at landscape scale.
Happy to share this perspective with experiences from the #KOOPERATIV project (in which we established 250 ha perennial flower areas cooperatively), now out in "People and Nature". S. Schüler et al.

'The sixth great #extinction is happening', conservation expert, #JaneGoodall, warns
by Victoria Gill
November 16, 2024
"With her signature shawl draped over her shoulders and silver hair pulled back from her face, Jane Goodall exudes serenity - even over our slightly blurry video call.
"In a Vienna hotel room, a press team and a small group of filmmakers, who are documenting her latest speaking tour, fuss around her.
"The famous primatologist and conservationist settles into a high-backed chair that dwarfs her slender frame.
"On my screen I can see that behind her, on a shelf, is her toy monkey, Mr H.
"The toy was given to her nearly 30 years ago by a friend and has travelled the world with her. Dr Goodall is now 90 years of age, and she and Mr H are still travelling.
"'I am a little bit exhausted,' she admits. 'I’ve come here from Paris. And after here I go to Berlin, then Geneva. I’m on this tour talking about the danger to the environment and some of the remedies,' she says.
‘The sixth great extinction is happening now’
"One of the remedies she wants to talk about today is a tree-planting and habitat restoration mission that her eponymous foundation and non-profit technology company, Ecosia, are carrying out in Uganda. Over the past five years, with the help of local communities and smallholder farmers, the organisations have planted nearly two million trees.
"'We’re in the midst of the sixth great extinction,' Dr Goodall tells me during our interview for BBC Radio 4’s Inside Science. 'The more we can do to restore nature and protect existing forests, the better.'"
