  8. Habitat destruction

  9. Invasive Alien Species

  10. Pollution: Arctic Sea Ice

  11. Overharvesting

  12. Change behaviour Raise awareness Manage biodiversity Research and monitoring Develop policies Integrate biodiversity into planning What can we do about it?

  13. Early nature awareness • Late: 19th century: bird protection

  14. International policy instruments

  15. Trends in nature treaties From segregation to integration Species protection, Area/ecosystem protection From nature to biodiversity Sustainable development Ecosystem services Integration into sectors From protection to restoration From up scaling and downscaling

  16. EU biodiversity policy • Birds Directive 1979 • Habitats Directive 1992 • Natura 2000 • EU Biodiversity Strategy 2011 • Integration into other policies (agriculture, fisheries, forestry, ...)

  17. EU biodiversity targets • Full implementation of EU nature legislation to protect biodiversity • Better protection for ecosystems, and more use of green infrastructure • More sustainable agriculture and forestry • Better management of fish stocks • Tighter controls on invasive alien species • A bigger EU contribution to averting global biodiversity loss
