Europe has an immense heritage of natural areas and species: virgin forests like Bialowieza in Poland, beautiful lakes, oceans, rivers and wetlands like Doñana in Spain, and thousands of unique animals, such as lynx, wolves, bears, turtles and whales.

Spending time in nature and appreciating the richness of its sounds bring also enormous benefits to our health and wellbeing.

Europe's Environment Ministers and the Juncker Commission are currently discussing whether to change the EU Nature Laws that have, for more than 25 years, helped protect this natural heritage.

WWF asks the Commission and the European environment ministers:

• to ensure full implementation of these laws and
• to tackle the unsustainable economic activities in protected natural areas.

An important discussion will take place on 28-30 June in Amsterdam, and final decisions on the future of these laws are expected to be taken in the coming months.

Your songs will help them turn up the volume of nature, and ensure that nature laws are not changed but properly implemented across Europe. Build a future in which people live in harmony with nature and turn up the voice of nature here.
