🌿 Nature is beautiful but fragile – so we need to protect it.

The Environmental Crime Directive coming into force today is good news for nature, and for us!

This landmark law is the first of its kind, ensuring:

🟩 the most severe breaches of environmental rules are considered as crimes
🟩 law enforcement authorities and the judiciary have the tools to act effectively
🟩 support and assistance to environmental defenders in criminal proceedings
