"I voted against this report because, while I am very much aware of the importance and richness of biodiversity, it seems to me that this text presents some rather extreme ideas that could unfairly stigmatise certain areas.
The passages concerning, for example, the common agricultural policy or the common fisheries policy are thus problematic in my view: agriculture and fishing must not be seen as intrinsically bad for biodiversity. We must, rather, take a more constructive view of their role in an effort to protect and enhance biodiversity, for the actors in these sectors have an essential role to play. Therefore, the role of some actors, such as hunters, is presented in this report as negative, even though hunting has a very important purpose in terms of managing the biodiversity of our natural spaces.
Despite some positive elements (the highlighted importance of better scientific data collection and sharing, for instance), this report does not seem to me to promote a balanced and fair view of the roles played by the various actors in our society to protect biodiversity."@en1
