⚠️ 1 in 4 freshwater species is at risk of extinction! Research shows that the species richness depends on the land use. Smaller #Natura2000 sites support more freshwater #biodiversity when surrounded by wet, diverse and patchy landscapes. ⬇️ environment.ec.europa.eu/news/researche… #SfEP

Abandoned farmland is turning into dense forests and scrubland, which increases the risk of wildfires. 🌡️ A 50-year study of land use in the 🇪🇸 Valencia region has raised concerns about wildfire fuel loads. Read more ⬇️ environment.ec.europa.eu/news/abandoned… #SfEP

Seen in false-colour by Copernicus EU Sentinel-2: Zanzibar and part of Tanzania’s east coast. Here, vegetation appears red, with brighter tones showing higher density and healthier vegetation. Built-up areas like Zanzibar City and Dar es Salaam -the largest city of Tanzania-

Wetlands are vital ecosystems that provide numerous ecological and economic benefits, making them crucial for both the environment and human wellbeing. They act as natural filters, purify water, control floods, and support diverse plant and animal life. #WetlandsMatter

Peatlands, which cover just 3% of Earth's surface, store 550 billion tonnes of carbon or twice as much as all forests combined. However, some 15% of them have been drained for agriculture. Protecting these carbon sinks is vital #ForPeopleForPlanet.

Protecting nature should be rewarded 🌱🧾 Today, the European Commission launched a Roadmap towards #NatureCredits to boost private investments into nature-friendly actions & financially reward those that protect and restore ecosystems. Learn more 👉 europa.eu/!jdFXyH

Avoid watering grass in dry weather - sprinklers can use as much water in one hour as a family uses in 24 hours. To keep grass looking good, mow less often - long grass stays green, and is a cool refuge for wildlife. More water-saving tips: bit.ly/3IStj3T #summer #nature

Leaving a patch of grass to grow long creates a shady place for wildlife to shelter during hot weather. Wildflowers like white clover and ox-eye daisies may appear in unmown grass – these are an excellent source of nectar for all kinds of insects. More: littlegreenspace.org.uk/features/help-…
