Focus on the forest
The forest is our largest land-based ecosystem. Natural forests store large amounts of carbon and affect the climate, purify the air we breathe, are part of the water cycle, are habitats for a myriad of species, and are the basis for a wide range of other ecological functions we all depend on!
A large part of the Swedish forest has been negatively affected by unsustainable forestry based on clear-cutting. Unfortunately, forestry and industry today account for the country’s single largest negative impact on nature, the environment and the climate At the same time, Sweden has a particularly great responsibility because the country holds a large part of the EU’s natural heritage in the form of natural forests. To reverse the trend and protect these priceless ecosystems, we must protect forests, restore forests, and transform forestry.
Our goals:
- Protect at least 30 percent of the productive forest land
- Restore forests to achieve our environmental goals
- Reform the forestry to close-to-nature forest management
