Not only is the return on investment positive, the socioeconomic benefits are also calculated
Why? Because nature ...
👉 cleans the air and our water = fewer physical illnesses
👉 reduces stress = fewer mental illnesses
👉 absorbs more water = less risk of flooding
👉 attracts tourism = more local jobs
Our new study confirms: every € invested in nature generates 8 to 51 € for society 🌱
Together with @natagora.bsky.social and @natuurpunt.bsky.social we are launching a report today. The results in the 3 case studies prove that nature restoration is a smart investment.

The new Belgian federal government wants to reduce the tax deductibility of donations from 45% to 30%, threatening the funding of numerous associations in many sectors.
🗞️"Nous espérons que le gouvernement se ressaisira et abandonnera ce projet", says our CEO Caroline Tsilikounas in @lesoir.be👇 (FR)
What does the new Federal Government Agreement means for the economy and the environment?
Our Policy & Business Director, Julie Vandenberghe, was interviewed in the evening news of RTL INFO (FR)👇
www.rtl.be/page-videos/...
Our reaction to the Belgian Federal Government Agreement to read in @lalibre.be this morning (FR)👇
"Cet accord passe à côté de 14 milliards d’€, qui auraient pu être investis pour rendre notre économie plus durable".
Julie Vandenberghe's quote from the press release
🚨 WWF-Belgium’s reaction to the Federal Government Agreement: clear lack of ambition for nature & climate 🌿
👉 This lack of ambition is especially disappointing as this will be the last federal government with the chance to make a real difference by 2030 for our citizens, nature, and the climate.
If Arizona lowers the tax benefit for donors to 30%, it would:
👩👧👦Impact +1mio people that support NGOs each year
✊Impact budgets of NGOs and, with that, their operations
🦁Mean less protection and support for the beneficiaries of NGOs, be it people, animals or nature

You signed our open letter - we delivered it to our political leaders
In this letter, we asked our government to take care of Belgian nature and biodiversity. We asked them for concrete actions with a sufficient budget.
Nature is our ally. Thanks to you, WWF can make sure this message is heard. 💚
