Broad overview of Sweden’s biological diversity and of the present situation, its history and various environmental disturbances. In the case of certain types of organisms, Sweden is probably as rich in species as the tropical rain forests. And the threat to plants and animals is just as great in the Swedish forests!

Read about how agriculture, forestry and other activities by mankind have badly affected many species, and about what is being done to protect the diversity.

This land study, which was commissioned by the government, has been undertaken in collaboration with other public authorities, universities and data-bases. The book is useful as a reference book but is also popular on many educational courses. Facsimile edition in Swedish. Richly illustrated in colour.
