Italy has quietly become one of Europe’s biggest environmental success stories. More than one-third of the country’s land is now covered by forests, the highest level since the Middle Ages. Much of this growth happened naturally as abandoned farmland regenerated over the past century, alongside conservation efforts and sustainable forest management. The expanding forests are helping absorb carbon, restore wildlife habitats, reduce erosion, and improve biodiversity, making Italy an unexpected leader in large-scale reforestation.

Biodiversity is the living web that sustains humanity. Yet, climate chaos, pollution & the relentless exploitation of nature, are pushing the natural world towards breakdown. This #BiodiversityDay, let's work together to halt & reverse biodiversity loss, so people & nature can #BiodiversityDay #SaveNature #ClimateAction #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.

If nature breaks down, so do we. @UNDP is committed to changing how the world values nature - from the ground up. Let's choose a smarter path. My statement on #BiodiversityDay 👇 https://t.co/XfhjMtxAXK #Nature #Biodiversity #Sustainability #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.

Scientists are warning that climate change and habitat degradation are accelerating the Caspian Sea's rapid shrinkage, resulting in significant ecological impacts and challenges for coastal communities, as rising temperatures increase evaporation and disrupt the delicate water balance of this enclosed inland basin. #ClimateChange #CaspianSea #Biodiversity #AZ #IR #KZ #RU #TM
