The consequences are terrible for us - there are more than 6,500 cases of ecocide, crimes against the environment that have already been recorded, for which the evidence base has been collected and continues to be collected. This is a huge amount of damage - almost 70 billion euros - that has been caused to various areas of our environment. These include water resources, foxes, and increased greenhouse gas emissions
