Biodiversity Loss Costs EU 450 Billion Euros Per Year
In addition to the financial crisis, there is a silent crisis of biodiversity loss costing the EU 450 billion Euros each year.

ALDE MEP Gerben-Jan Gerbrandy (D66, Netherlands), Special Rapporteur on Biodiversity of the European Parliament, presented his draft report on January 24 to the environment committee and called for the "No Net Loss" principle to be applied - that those who cause damage to nature must compensate the loss. The European Parliament intends to come forward with a strategy to end biodiversity loss by 2020.
