Hands Off Nature!

Don’t let the EU tear down nature protection.

The European Commission wants to roll back vital environmental protections – and they’re asking for your opinion.

Tell them to keep their hands off nature.

Across Europe, nature is already struggling. Forests are thinning, rivers are drying, wildlife is vanishing. We’re losing clean air, safe water, and the green spaces we rely on. And now, the Commission wants to weaken the very laws meant to protect nature and people.

Some decision-makers call it “simplification” or “cutting red tape”, when in truth it’s dismantling our key environmental protections, one by one. The Commission has not yet indicated which laws are on the chopping block, but opponents of the landmark zero-deforestation law, the European Union Deforestation Regulation – known as the ‘EUDR’ – are already calling for this landmark achievement to be weakened.

What’s actually being simplified is the path for those who want to profit from the destruction of nature at everyone’s expense.

And they are doing it quietly, when most people are away. In the middle of the summer, the European Commission launched a so-called ‘Call for Evidence’, asking companies, organisations and citizens whether EU environmental laws should be weakened.

This is your chance to speak up.

Write your message via the form below to tell decision-makers you oppose weakening and removing nature laws.

It took decades of our collective voices to build the laws that protect people and nature. Don’t let them be undone in silence. 

You have until 10 September to make your voice heard – make it count!

Please note that your submission will be public on the Commission’s website.
