European ecosystems, their condition and the protection regime meant to hold them. Ecosystems is the registry, Pressures covers what is degrading them, Protection covers designations and law, Restoration covers repair work, and Living with nature covers the human side.
From agency reports, published research and named publications, credited and linked in each piece. No survey or monitoring is carried out here, and a figure belongs to whoever produced it.
No. It reports on conservation rather than lobbying, and it is independent of the agencies, charities and land owners it covers, with no funding from any of them.
Only as already published. Where a species is vulnerable to disturbance or collecting, pieces stay with what the source disclosed rather than adding precise locations.
They are written with automated assistance from the source material and carry no individual byline, with the source publication credited instead. Sources and methods sets out the process.
