The Future of Sweden's Forests, A Collaborative Exploration

Despite its sustainable forestry reputation, the Swedish Forest Model is under scrutiny, raising questions about responsible forest product sourcing amidst growing pressures from environmental advocates, ecologists, and Sami reindeer herding communities.

To address this, a collaborative report by Earthworm Foundation, Nestlé, SCA, and DS Smith delves into the changing forests of Västerbotten, offering insights and practical recommendations for biodiversity, carbon conservation, and coexistence between commercial forestry and reindeer herding.

Drawing on research by recognised expert institutions and individuals, the Västerbotten County Healthy Forest Landscape Assessment unveils recent trends in forest cover, carbon storage, biodiversity, and community well-being, including the unique challenges faced by the Sami reindeer herding communities.
