The confiscations mostly involved critically endangered European eels (Anguilla anguilla), timber and medicinal plants, according to a new report by wildlife trade monitor TRAFFIC. Worth an estimated $23 billion a year, the illegal wildlife trade is a […]

Climate-protecting carbon sinks of EU forests are declining
Forests cover about 40% of the EU's land area. Between 1990 and 2022, they absorbed around 10% of the continent's man-made carbon emissions. However, the carbon dioxide absorption capacity of forests, also known as carbon sinks, is becoming increasingly weaker.
