💨 Abstract

In a referendum, Swiss voters rejected a proposal aimed at increasing protections for natural habitats and endangered ecosystems. The "biodiversity initiative" aimed to set aside more land for conservation and enhance protections, but was rejected by over 60% of voters due to concerns it was too extreme and posed risks to business development. The Swiss Green party expressed disappointment, warning that many species and habitats are under threat.
