English: On 19 October 2020, the European Environment Agency published the “State of Nature in the EU 2013-2018” report, a high level report in which the state of the natural environment in the European Union is analysed using biological, geological, and ecological indicators. According to this study, the vast majority of protected landscapes and natural habitats across Europe has been rated as being in a “poor” or “bad” condition. Additionally, despite targets having been set to protect them, the population of species vital to biodiversity is continuing to decline together with the condition of their habitats . Regions with a predominantly good conservation track record are located within the Alpine arc, Croatia, Greece, Portugal and Romania. In contrast, the regions with predominantly bad conditions can be found in lowland and flat areas (e.g. Po Basin, Danube Basin, southern Sweden, Poland). This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 Satellites on 15 September, shows the terminal part of the Po basin in Italy, one of the areas in which nature conservation has received a poor rating. Every day the Copernicus Sentinel missions deliver petabytes of open data that are useful for studying the state of nature around the world.
