Great news out of Europe today as the European Parliament adopts the groundbreaking Nature Restoration Law: a world-first legal framework to combat biodiversity loss and climate change.
Leonardo da Vinci once said, “water is the driving force of all nature.”
He was right: water connects every living thing on the planet.
Now, these freshwater ecosystems are in trouble, but we CAN protect them and they can recover–quickly. Here’s how:

By 2050 at least 70% of people will live in a city. What does this urban growth mean for nature? We must empower cities to plan for a positive natural future.
In Europe's Western Balkans, people from all walks of life are coming to the aid of their threatened, free-flowing rivers. Hear stories of ecological revival and spiritual renewal from a Montenegrin fisherman, a Serbian scientist & a Macedonian winemaker:
New science suggests that “super reefs”—more resilient to a changing climate and warmer seas—could provide new opportunities for restoring threatened reefs.
Conservation success is unachievable without a diversity of perspectives.
That’s why women and people of color need more seats at the decision making table.

A healthy coral reef can reduce wave force by 97%, protecting communities from storms, flooding and erosion. It's hard to imagine a coastal town without coral reefs.
Protection. Just one benefit of corals.
