Austria approved the “Nature Restoration Law”, which was adopted by European Union ministers for environmental affairs with the support of Leonora Gevsler, Austrian Minister of the Environment, who played a decisive role in approving the law by voting in its favor after intense discussions and discussions that lasted several months.
The vote of the Austrian Environment Minister, who belongs to the coalition Green Party, in favor of the law, and the change in Austria’s position from abstention to approval, was the decisive factor that tipped the balance in favor of the European environment ministers in favor of the legislation that aims to restore at least 20% of the terrestrial and marine areas in the EU countries. European Union by 2030, and affected ecosystems by 2050.
Environmentalists in Austria believe that the law is a decisive step to preserve the environment, as it stipulates a package of measures that include reforestation, rewetting swamps, and returning rivers to their natural state, while objectors from political parties and farmer associations believe that the law will negatively affect the agricultural sector, food supplies, and high prices in Austria. .
