The Nature Restoration Law mandates that EU countries restore at least 20% of land and sea areas by 2030 to reverse biodiversity loss. This legislation triggered massive tractor protests across Europe, becoming the central battleground of the Green Deal. Proponents argue that restoring peatlands and forests is the only way to prevent soil collapse and future floods. Opponents argue it destroys the livelihoods of generational farmers and endangers food security by taking arable land out of production.
