Aerial View over Forest near Lake Blecktjärnen in Sweden

Aerial view over forest close to lake Blecktjärnen near the town of Bräcke in Jämtland County, Sweden.

This natural forest is marked for logging, despite being located in a High Value Forest Landscape, which means the area has been identified by the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency as having particularly high ecological preservation values.

Biodiversity is threatened by massive habitat loss, but logging companies continue to expand into the last remaining forest areas critical for biodiversity in Sweden and other parts of the boreal forest.
