"The EU nature restoration law, agreed with member states, will restore
degraded ecosystems in all member states, help achieve the EU’s climate and
biodiversity objectives and enhance food security.

To reach the overall EU targets, member states must restore at least 30% of
habitats covered by the new law (from forests, grasslands and wetlands to
rivers, lakes and coral beds) from a poor to a good condition by 2030,
increasing to 60% by 2040, and 90% by 2050. In line with Parliament’s position,
EU countries should give priority to Natura 2000 areas until 2030. Once in a
good condition, EU countries shall ensure an area does not significantly
deteriorate. Member states will also have to adopt national restoration plans
detailing how they intend to achieve these targets."
