    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    European Union lawmakers on Tuesday approved the bloc’s nature restoration law, keeping alive a policy that has become a target of farmers’ protests across member states.

    Farming unions had urged members of the parliament to support the agricultural sector by rejecting the text.

    Lawmakers passed the law with 329 votes in favor, 275 against and 24 abstentions.

    The new law sets a target for the EU to restore at least 20% of the EU’s land and sea areas by 2030 and all ecosystems in need of restoration by 2050.

    Member states must restore at least 30% of habitats specifically covered by the new law from a poor to a good condition by 2030.

    Such ecosystems include forests, grasslands and wetlands, as well as rivers, lakes and coral beds.
