text: policies. In addition, by integrating policy coherence for sustainable development in all 
  its policies, the EU will reduce the pressure on biodiversity worldwide. In all of its 
  international cooperation, the EU should promote sustainable agricultural and fisheries 
  practices and actions to protect and restore the world’s forests. Particular attention will 
  also be paid to sustainable water resource management, the restoration of degraded land, 
  and the protection and restoration of biodiverse areas with high ecosystem services and 
  climate mitigation potential. A better protection of natural ecosystems, coupled with 
  efforts to reduce wildlife trade and consumption, will also help prevent and build up 
  resilience to possible future diseases and pandemics. The EU will enhance its support to 
  global efforts to apply the**One Health approach**83, which recognises the intrinsic 
  connection between human health, animal health and healthy resilient nature. 
  
  The EU will step up support to partner countries across the world to achieve the new 
  global targets, fight environmental crime, and tackle the drivers of biodiversity loss. In 
  Africa, the EU will launch the**NaturAfrica**initiative to protect wildlife and key 
  ecosystems while offering opportunities in green sectors for local populations. Similar 
  projects will be developed in other regions. The EU will also support the Western 
  Balkans and EU Neighbourhood countries in their efforts to protect biodiversity.
