Eight of these 12 areas had logging notifications registered by the FSC-certified forest companies SCA and Sveaskog and also the Swedish Church.

Sebastian Kirppu, forest biologist from Protect the Forest, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cFSC-certified logging companies and the Swedish Church claim that they manage forests sustainably but it is a complete illusion. The truth is that they clear-cut forests and destroy ecosystems.

Among these, 70 were red-listed species. The rare critically endangered wood-living fungus Resinoporia crassa (CR) was among the most startling discoveries and was found in an old-growth forest of 200 hectares at <a href=\"https:\/\/skyddaskogen.se\/sca-plans-to-clear-cut-200-hectares-forest-with-very-high-conservation-values-at-vargtjarnen\/?lang=en\">Vargtj\u00e4rnen<\/a> in \u00c5nge Municipality, planned to be logged by the FSC-certified logging company SCA.

Logging these forests is therefore a disaster for both biodiversity and the climate. As an EU member, Sweden should set an example for species conservation, rather than continue on the current path of destructive forestry.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SCA is the largest private forest owner in V\u00e4sternorrland County, in Sweden as well as in Europe. Sveaskog is a state-owned Swedish logging company. Both companies are FSC certified, which is a certification system aimed at guaranteeing sustainable forestry. According to the FSC standard, threatened species and their habitats should be protected as woodland key habitats and thus exempt from forestry activities. Despite this, SCA and Sveaskog registered logging notifications in forests that have obvious woodland key habitat qualities. After protests from the NGOs, Sveaskog has now withdrawn its logging plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>PEFC- certifikation has vague principles and criteria<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The forests owned by the Swedish Church are certified according to PEFC. The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation (SSNC) calls attention to the certification\u2019s \u201cvery vague principles and criteria which provide far too much room for interpretation\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sverigesnatur.org\/arkiv\/kritiken-mot-fsc\/\">Sveriges Natur 2011<\/a>). The Research Excursion has also found high conservation values in a forest owned by the Swedish Church. However, the Church now plans to exempt the forest from logging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Complaints sent to the FSC<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Research Excursion has filed complaints to the FSC because of the documented high conservation values in forest areas notified for logging. The Swedish Forestry Agency and the County Administrative Board of V\u00e4sternorrland County have been informed. SCA has withdrawn logging notifications for some areas, while other notifications remain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read the <a href=\"https:\/\/skyddaskogen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/forskningsresan-multilang-2023.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Research Excursion report (2022)<\/a> (Summary in English).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/skyddaskogen.se\/sca-plans-to-clear-cut-200-hectares-forest-with-very-high-conservation-values-at-vargtjarnen\/?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SCA plans to clear-cut 200 hectares forest with very high conservation values at Vargtj\u00e4rnen<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Contact<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sebastian Kirppu, forest biologist, + 46 70 308 19 84, sebastian.kirppu(@)gmail.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The forest company SCA plans to clear-cut hundreds of hectares of natural forest with high conservation values in V\u00e4sternorrland county in Sweden.
