Parks & Nature
The Laponian area is a large mountainous wildlife area in the Lapland province in northern Sweden.
It was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996; the bulk of it had enjoyed protected status since the early 20th century. The area was made a heritage site for both natural and cultural reasons.
The total area is about 9,400 square km, making it the world's largest unmodified nature area to be still cultured by natives—the natives in this case being the reindeer herding Sami people. 95% of the area is protected as national parks or nature reserves. It consists of the national parks Muddus, Sarek, Padjelanta and Stora Sjöfallet.
