Special Eurobarometer 436: Attitudes of Europeans towards biodiversity

Biodiversity – the unique web of life on Earth – is vital for our survival and quality of life. It provides countless services for free, making the oxygen we breathe, cleaning our water, and supplying us with food, materials and medicines. But biodiversity and ecosystem services are not just under threat – they are being lost and degraded at rates unprecedented in human history. This Eurobarometer survey collects information on how informed Europeans feel about biodiversity in general, their views on the seriousness of the threat, the role of the Natura 2000 network, personal efforts they are making to stop biodiversity loss, and how they expect Europe to react.

The results by volumes are distributed as follows:

• Volume A: Countries
• Volume AA: Groups of countries
• Volume A' (AP): Trends
• Volume AA' (AAP): Trends of groups of countries
• Volume B: EU/socio-demographics
• Volume B' (BP) : Trends of EU/ socio-demographics
• Volume C: Country/socio-demographics
