Different types of protected and valuable nature<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
In Sweden, nature is formally protected by environmental legislation. There are different types of nature protection with different purposes and with different geographical scales. From vast national parks to biotope protection covering specific objects, such as a stone wall. In addition to statutory protection, there are areas of nature that lack formal protection but are nevertheless protected from exploitation, e.g. voluntary considerations governed by certification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, various authorities such as the County Administrative Board, the Swedish Forest Agency and the Swedish Agency for Marine and Water management have identified valuable natural environments that lack formal and informal protection but are valuable for biodiversity. These areas provide a valuable knowledge base for planning, e.g. the layout of a new mine or limestone quarry, or the restoration of mining and quarrying environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Protected species: Species Protection Ordinance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
Species are formally protected by the Species Protection Ordinance. Sweden has implemented two EU Directives through the Species Protection Ordinance: the Birds Directive and the Species and Habitats Directive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An indicative ruling from the European Court of Justice in 2022 will tighten the requirements of the Species Protection Ordinance. A strict interpretation of the law and the guidance ruling could mean individual protection for all wild birds. Clarifications regarding the legislation will clarify the legal situation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A government inquiry, SOU 2021:51 Protection of species – our communal responsibility, proposes to introduce different rules in the Environmental Code to implement the provisions of the Birds and Habitats Directives. It is proposed to make clear what the different parts of the Directives mean in Swedish circumstances, and the Directives are proposed to be implemented in separate provisions in Swedish legislation. One proposal in the inquiry is that offsetting measures must be taken in the event of an exemption from the Species Protection Ordinance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
