According to the Species Protection Ordinance, it is forbidden to damage the Goodyera repens. The species is sensitive to changes in humidity and does not survive drying out, which is the result from logging. Photo: Private.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It was in August this year that the four small forest areas north of the lake Risten in \u00c5tvidaberg municipality were notified for logging by the forestry company S\u00f6dra, due to an attack by the European spruce bark beetle (<em>Ips typographus<\/em>). Since the nature reserve proposal was presented in 2018, S\u00f6dra has already logged several parts of the forest within the area. The current forests which are threatened by logging have high conservation values \u200b\u200band red-listed species, such as the protected orchid <em>Goodyera repens<\/em>, which can be found within one of the notifications for logging. The near threatened birds black woodpecker and willow tit as well as the capercaillie, can also be found in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;S\u00f6dra intends to carry out logging in the near future and the court does not intend to decide on a ban. It is so tragic to see how the Swedish Forest Agency&#8217;s deficient and often non-existent management leads to S\u00f6dra being able to continue logging forests with high conservation values, \u200b\u200bwithout even considering that any formal error has been committed. Nature is really completely defenseless&#8221;, said Karin Wilhelmsson from the NGO \u00d6sterg\u00f6tland&#8217;s forest group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Swedish Forest Agency is passive about logging<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00d6sterg\u00f6tland&#8217;s forest group sent a request to the Swedish Forest Agency in November regarding the four forest areas notified for logging. They requested that the authority take supervisory measures to ensure that the forest&#8217;s conservation values \u200b\u200bare preserved and that species protection violations are prevented. Since the Swedish Forest Agency did not respond to the request, the NGOs the Swedish Society for Nature Conservation in \u00d6sterg\u00f6tland and in \u00c5tvidaberg aswell as \u00d6sterg\u00f6tland&#8217;s forest group chose to appeal the Forestry Agency&#8217;s zero decision to the Land and Environmental Court this December. The court rejected the NGOs\u2019 appeal. The NGO\u2019s then chose to appeal to the Land and Environment Court of Appeal. There, too, their appeal was rejected just before Christmas (12\/22\/2023).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We deeply regret that the Land and Environmental Court in V\u00e4xj\u00f6 has made it very easy for itself. Attacks by spruce bark beetles are not listed in the Environmental Code or in the Species Protection Ordinance as a reason for exempting protected species from consideration, an assessment that is also supported by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.naturvardsverket.se\/en\">Swedish Environmental Protection Agency<\/a>. The requirement for species protection applies in parallel with other legislation and cannot be negotiated away&#8221;, said Nils Hyd\u00e9n, biologist and species expert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Swedish authorities do not act to stop logging in forests with high conservation values<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nils Hyd\u00e9n continued:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It is also the case that the Swedish Forest Agency has a mandatory supervisory responsibility according to the Environmental Code when information is received about natural values \u200b\u200bworthy of protection, regardless of whether the loggings are too small to be subject to notification or not. And when, like here, they choose not to take that responsibility, it directly leads to the question of whether they are deliberately ignoring their official mission?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the NGO\u2019s appeal, it appears that the spruce bark beetle is a naturally occurring species in the Swedish fauna. It creates dead wood, which is in short supply in today&#8217;s forest landscape. The spruce bark beetle also has many natural enemies such as woodpeckers, parasitic weevils, predatory beetles and predatory flies in the natural forest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Logging in winter is counterproductive to stop the spruce bark beetle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>T<\/strong>he Swedish Society for Nature Conservation has written in its appeal:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It should also be said that logging in the winter of infested spruce forests is purely counterproductive as several natural enemies of spruce bark beetles hibernate in the bark of infested spruces. They are therefore removed from the forest before they have time to wake up again. This applies, for example, to predatory long-legged flies <em>Dolichopodidae<\/em>, which, according to what is known, only hibernate under the bark. During winter logging, these flies will therefore be hit harder than the spruce bark beetles, as approximately 60% of the spruce bark beetles hibernate in the ground. The effect can therefore on the contrary, worsen next year&#8217;s attack&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation in \u00d6sterg\u00f6tland calls on S\u00f6dra to withdraw its four felling notifications north of Lake Risten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more about S\u00f6dra&#8217;s violations: <a href=\"https:\/\/skyddaskogen.se\/the-land-and-environmental-court-stopped-sodra-from-logging-forest-with-protected-birds-but-they-clear-cut-it-anyway\/?lang=en\">The Land and Environmental Court stopped S\u00f6dra from logging forest with protected birds, but they clear-cut it anyway<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Contact<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Karin Wilhelmsson, \u00d6sterg\u00f6tland&#8217;s forest group, tel. 076-362 77 96, k.wilhelmsson(@)telia.com Nils Hyd\u00e9n, biologist and species expert, tel. 070-745 00 57, nilsthyden(@)gmail<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The forestry company S\u00f6dra is planning to log four small areas in a proposed nature reserve north of Lake Risten in \u00c5tvidaberg municipality, \u00d6sterg\u00f6tland.
