Nature restoration and #windenergy go hand in hand. 🤝 🌏
With its Nature Restoration Law the EU is planning new legislation to restore Europe’s natural #ecosystems. What's the role of wind energy in this process?

With its Nature Restoration Law the EU is planning new legislation to restore Europe’s natural #ecosystems. What's the role of wind energy in this process?
A thread 🧵👇
windeurope.org/newsroom/press…
The European Commission has proposed binding #restoration targets for specific habitats and species. The EU now aims to restore 30% of the EU’s degraded areas, and ultimately all ecosystems in need of restoration by 2050.

windeurope.org/newsroom/press…
The @EPPGroup in the @Europarl_EN has suggested the 30% nature restoration target and the #energytransition were incompatible.
This is fundamentally wrong (!). Nature restoration and the expansion of #windenergy go hand in hand.

highlighting the imp pts:
Fundamental changes in the proposed bill:
a)Limits the scope & ambit of the original FCA (1980), removing crucial safeguards from a vast majority of India's #biodiverse rich #forests, thereby opens the floodgates for diversion for other uses

The #biodiversity of the #Danube #Delta is not affected by dredging works on the Bystroye Canal, and the water flow on the river Danube did not report any significant changes compared to statistics published in recent years, says Environment Minister @BarnaTanczos. (1/4)
The statement came after the 1st measurements conducted by RO on the branch of Chilia&RO sections of the Danube. He said Ukrainian authorities must provide a written consent before the 3 RO ships can finalize depth measurements across the entire section of the Chilia branch (2/4)
1/Friday we made it! We saw briefly/incompletely how #pollen #beetles preserved in #peat can shed light on long term #ecological change. There are other 'proxies' + the #peatland #archaeological record, esp rich in 🇮🇪, a remarkable 'archive' of past people/environments/climate
