SUCCESS IN SUPPORT OF EUROPE'S NATURE Our supporters show time and time again that together anything really is possible. In 2016, for example, our #NatureAlert campaign helped to preserve the EU's world-leading nature laws. The WWF EU network with other NGOs mobilized more than 500,000 supporters and, with the support of leading EU governments and the European Parliament, convinced the European Commission to retain and strengthen its legal framework. EU legislation has brought stronger protection to about 20 per cent of EU land and 6 per cent of its seas, and helped recover species such as brown bears, loggerhead turtles and wolves.
