Dear Partner,
A very warm greeting from the University of Montpellier, France. We hope this email finds you well.

Dear colleague,
These days, Norway’s plan to follow up the nature agreement, the Norwegian Action Plan for Natural Diversity, is being discussed in the Storting. Our expectation for this plan was that it should not only describe the status of Norwegian nature, but also take this knowledge seriously by proposing the necessary measures to slow down and reverse the loss of nature and natural resources in Norway. Unfortunately, that expectation was not fulfilled.
