We've been driving around Brussels in an actual omniBUS because the European Commission has been driving a giant Omnibus of proposals themselves.
When it comes to nature, simplification doesn’t mean easier rules. It means weaker rules.

🔔 Countdown for renewables and nature restoration!
Today is the deadline for EU countries to publish maps of the areas that are required for renewable energy & grid infrastructure to meet their 2030 targets.
National Nature Restoration plans are due by Sept 2026.
We need both to be coordinated.

Tens of thousands of whales, dolphins and porpoises die in fishing gear in European waters every year.

Last year, the EU challenged the UK’s decision to close sandeel fishing in English and Scottish waters of the North Sea.
Sandeels are small, but they’re a key food source for #Puffins, Kittiwakes, and many other seabirds.

Fantastic news for North Sea seabirds and science-based decision-making!
Last year the EU challenged the UK's closure of industrial sandeel fishing in its waters.
These closures are a lifeline for the millions of seabirds which rely on sandeels for food.
Reversing them would be a blow for hungry Puffins, Kittiwakes, and other birds.

🚨 Cormorant Killing Proposed!
Today, EIFAAC (part of FAO) dropped its draft European Cormorant “Management” Plan, and it’s grim. What’s in it?
Coordinated culling and oiling are among the suggested measures.
Random targets. No end goal. No clear metrics. Just killing.
