North Rhine-Westphalia: conservationists: black and green without a concept against species loss

Düsseldorf (dpa / lnw) - The nature conservation association has accused the new black-green state government of having no concept in the fight against species extinction. "We are dealing with two crises," said Nabu state chairwoman Heide Naderer on Monday in Düsseldorf - "with the climate crisis and the biodiversity crisis", i.e. the extinction of species. Both crises could exacerbate each other.

"Everyone knows what is happening here. Everyone can see not only the climate crisis, but also the loss of species," says Naderer.

While the black-green coalition agreement is promising in the climate crisis, this is not the case with the loss of species. "It's more like 'gravelly'. There's no countermeasures at all and we think that's serious. We don't see any concept, no consistent action to deal with the loss of species."
