| Abstract: | With the increasingly clear and severe consequences of climate change, there is an ever stronger call for climate action (European Commission, n.d.). Prominent programmes to address this existential crisis are the EU biodiversity strategy for 2030 (European Commission, n.d.) and the Natura 2000 (Europe environment agency, 2023). These programmes emphasise protecting biodiversity, since it has become clear Europe’s protected habitats and species are degrading rapidly. Many claim species are going extinct at unprecedented rates (Stanford Report, 2023). With more than half of global GDP depending on biodiverse, functioning ecosystems, the importance of this issue could not be more severe (European Commission, 2021, p.4). However, facing an ecological crisis while aiming to protect human cultural and societal existence, the difficulty emerges of finding a good path forward. |
