Happy #BiodiversityDay

#DYK that the #BiodiversityPlan is a historic deal for people and #ForOurPlanet, in which 196 countries agreed to protect 30% of land & water by 2030?
 
The Biodiversity Plan provides a 🌍 blueprint to:
🌱 protect & restore nature
🌊 prosper with nature
🤝 share benefits fairly
💰 invest & collaborate for nature
 
Protecting freshwater ecosystems is a crucial part of this effort as the biodiversity crisis impacts them the hardest. More than 50% of all wetlands globally have been lost since 1900, and freshwater vertebrate populations have fallen by 83% since 1970.
 
Healthy ecosystems are at the heart of the water cycle.
 
Today and everyday, we are committed to being #PartOfThePlan with the #EUGreenDeal, and becoming #WaterWiseEU
