Abstract

Abstract

The paper analyses the current challenges in protecting and rebuilding biodiversity and ecosystems across the European Union. Its aim is to demonstrate the need to move away from the concept of conservation – which focusses on preserving single elements of nature – towards a holistic approach. Given the need to halt the decline of the natural environment, attention is increasingly directed towards nature restoration. The article then discusses the EU’s Nature Restoration Law, which marks a shift from a sectoral perspective toward addressing horizontal challenges in EU biodiversity (nature protection) law.
