Born Free Foundation

Born Free welcomes the opportunity to provide feedback. The biodiversity crisis we are experiencing in Europe and globally is unprecedented. The decline in nature and biodiversity undermines our wellbeing and resilience and jeopardises the future of a million or more species, including our own. The EU has a key role to play in halting and reversing that trend and must lead by example.

Born Free welcomes the opportunity to provide input to the EU Roadmap towards Nature Credits. We cautiously welcome this initiative, which seeks to create an innovative tool to help bridge the funding gap for nature conservation in Europe, but raises several questions and concerns. Please find our detailed feedback in the document attached.

Born Free is a UK-based international charity committed to promoting compassionate conservation to enhance the survival of threatened species in the wild and protect natural habitats, while respecting the needs and safeguarding the welfare of individual animals. We welcome the opportunity to provide feedback on the European climate resilience and risk management integrated framework.

Born Free welcomes the opportunity to provide feedback on the revised Union Customs Code. Our organisation has a long history working on wildlife trade and trafficking and we believe Member States Customs authorities play a central role in the regulation and control of wild animals and wildlife products that enter, circulate within and are exported from the EU.

Born Free welcomes the opportunity to provide feedback. As a conservation and animal protection NGO, our input focuses on the right of victims of environmental crimes. It is crucial that the new Directive ensures that victims of crimes benefit from the same rights across the EU, and not only in countries where such rights already exist.

Born Free welcomes the opportunity to respond to the Call for Evidence for the mid-term evaluation of the EU LIFE programme 2021-2027. Our input relates specifically to the LIFE Nature and Biodiversity and LIFE Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation sub-programmes, recognising the clear link between nature and biodiversity protection and climate change mitigation.

Born Free is a conservation and animal protection Charity. We appreciate this opportunity to provide feedback on the EU4Health programme which was adopted in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has clearly demonstrated the need to effectively address the risks associated with the human-animal-environment interface, to prevent, mitigate, and respond to the emergence of zoonotic disease spill overs.

Born Free welcomes the opportunity to provide feedback on this initiative that provides an opportunity to improve the effectiveness of EU efforts against wildlife trafficking. Illegal wildlife trade poses serious threats to wildlife conservation and biosecurity, and often involves organised criminal networks which operate across international borders.
