This week on The Explainer, LauraByrneStory is joined by laurenanna_1 to delve into the Nature Restoration Law - what exactly does it aim to achieve, and why did it spark so much anger?
THE DAMAGE CAUSED to the environment by industry is clear: rivers polluted by runoff, trees felled for logging and farmland, bogs drained and harvested, and seas overfished.
That is the core of the heated debate over the European Union’s Nature Restoration Law. It aims to repair degraded habitats and increase biodiversity through methods like rewetting bogland, improving forest management, and improving farmland diversity. This week on The Explainer, we’re joined by Lauren Boland, climate reporter with The Journal, to examine what precisely this legislation is all about and why it sparked so much anger.Do environmentalists think the now-watered-down law will have any impact? And how does Ireland fit into the picture?The Explainer / SoundCloud
