Flash Eurobarometer 379: ATTITUDES TOWARDS BIODIVERSITY

Flash Eurobarometer 379: ATTITUDES TOWARDS BIODIVERSITY The European Union (EU) is committed to the protection of “biodiversity”, i.e. the diversity of animal species, flora and fauna, natural habitats and ecosystems. Although the EU has been legislating on biodiversity since the 1970s, biodiversity loss has accelerated both in the EU and globally in recent years. Biodiversity loss is an enormous challenge in the EU, with around one in four species currently threatened with extinction and 88% of fish stocks over-exploited or significantly depleted.
