| Newsflash no. 78, December 2009: "We are all in this together"- The European Commission’s Biodiversity Campaign |
| In 2001, the EU undertook to halt the decline of biodiversity in the EU by 2010 and to restore habitats and ecosystems. In 2006, the European Commission adopted the ‘EU Action Plan to 2010 and Beyond’. In line with this plan, the European Commission will launch an EU-wide awareness raising campaign in 2010, the International Year of Biodiversity. The goal of the campaign is two-fold: its aim is to raise awareness on the loss of biodiversity but also to show how to slow it down and turn the loss around. Read more about it in our newsflash. |
