Halting the loss of biodiversity by 2010 – Are we on target?
-
The European Union has set an objective to halt the loss of biodiversity by 2010. Europe is currently suffering from a steady loss of biodiversity, with profound consequences for the natural world and for human well-being. The main causes are changes in natural habitats and these, in turn, are due to intensive agricultural production systems, construction, quarrying, overexploitation of forests, oceans, rivers, lakes and soils, alien species invasions, pollution and — increasingly — global warming.

The changing faces of Europe's coastal areas
-
This report provides information on the state of the
environment in the coastal areas of Europe, and
provides evidence of the need for a more integrated,
long-term approach. Since 1995, concern about the
state of Europe's coastline has led to a number of EU
initiatives, which build on the concept of integrated
coastal zone management (ICZM). ICZM attempts
to balance the needs of development with protection
of the very resources that sustain coastal economies.
It also takes into account the public's concern about
the deteriorating environmental, socio-economic and
cultural state of the European coastline.
