Nature restoration and conservation provide a cost-effective and efficient way to address the biodiversity crisis. They also have the potential to help tackle climate change while delivering environmental, social and economic benefits.
Currently, financial allocations earmarked for nature restoration and conservation measures remain low and the available EU funding for Member States to address biodiversity loss is not being taken advantage of.
These case studies from several European Member States demonstrate some of the many ways EU funds can and should be used to support nature restoration and conservation projects, which are instrumental to addressing the biodiversity crisis across sectors while also building a greener, fairer future.
You can see more case studies on the Supporting biodiversity page.
