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.Structural complexity is a key component of natural forests, with many habitat niches available for different species. Logging removes these larger, complex trees and reduces the amount of deadwood available for animals.Related Collections:Great Northern Forest – Beauty and Destruction in Northern Sweden (Photos & Videos)
