🌍 This day honors those lost to and affected by the climate crisis and serves as a call to action. We must act now to minimize the impact of climate change wherever we can and build resilience to protect what is most precious to us – our lives and our health. ℹ️ It's important to note that climate disasters disproportionately affect women and girls due to their existing socio-economic vulnerabilities. The UN estimates that 80% of people displaced by climate change are women. #DayforClimateVictims #ClimateAction #Resilience #ClimateCrisis #GenderEquality

🎉 Good news for wildlife conservation! 🐺 The ECJ has ruled in favour of protecting wolves in Austria, thanks to the efforts of WWF Austria and J&E member ÖKOBÜRO. This decision strengthens species protection across Europe! Key points from the verdict: 🔴 The wolf's conservation status in Austria is not favorable. 🔴 Exceptions to the hunting ban require favorable conservation status locally, nationally, and across borders - which is not the case. 🔴 Alternative solutions like better herd protection must be considered before any cull. This ruling is legally binding for all EU member states and will impact the protection of other species like the lynx and otter. "The ECJ made a groundbreaking ruling today: the wolf culls in Austria are not covered by law, as it is completely unclear how many animals there are and what their conservation status is", explained Gregor Schamschula, ÖKOBÜRO's legal expert. #WildlifeProtection #Conservation #WWFAustria #HabitatDirective #ECJ #ÖKOBÜRO https://curia.europa.eu/juris/document/document.jsf?text=&docid=288146&pageIndex=0&doclang=DE&mode=req&dir=&occ=first&part=1&cid=1997982
