Nature

National parks is the strongest protection you can give to valuable nature. Sweden’s national parks comprise a magnificent mosaic of different landscape types – from the leafy beech forests of Söderåsen to Sarek’s grandiose alpine world. From the teeming coral reef of Kosterhavet to the undulating sand dunes of Gotska Sandön and Tiveden’s bewitching forests.

In Sweden and many other countries, establishing nature reserves is one of the most common ways of protecting valuable natural environments in the long term. Sweden’s nature reserves account for about 85 percent of all protected lands in total, supported by the Environmental Code.
