Obs:

Shares and areas cannot be summed up, because different types of protection may overlap. Share in percent refers to protected area compared to Swedens entire area. From 2023, Swedens entire area is calculated using the Land Surveys data on municipal and county boundaries (geodata Topografi 10). Earlier years in the statistics have been calculated by using Statistics Sweden´s official statistics on land and water areas. www.scb.se/mi0802-en Areas in Swedens exclusive economic zone (EEZ) are included in the Natura 2000 protection forms and in total. Area for Swedens entire economic zone has been used in calculating the share of Natura 2000 areas and total (excluding overlap). Share for other forms of protection is calculated based on area for Swedish territory. From 2023, Swedens entire area is calculated using the Land Surveys data on municipal and county boundaries (geodata Topografi 10). Earlier years in the statistics have been calculated by using Statistics Sweden´s official statistics on land and water areas. The statistics refers to areas that were valid (i.e. had gained legal force) on the December 31 reference year. Statistics of nature reserves, Natura 2000 and nature conservation agreements include areas without restrictions, for example without forestry regulations. Agreement between government agencies
Agreement since 2010 between the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency and the Swedish Fortifications Administration, regarding areas that were designated 2003–2004 in the framework of the government assignment for inventory of protected state forests. The areas lack formal protection under the rules of the Environmental Code, but through the agreement and government decisions, they still have formal protection. Number of areas regarding agreement with the Swedish Fortifications Agency, is taken from the Agreement on the protection of particularly valuable natural forest areas, 5. Natural forests Nv Dnr 310-167-10 No. Nature conservation agreement
An agreement signed between the landowner and the state, through the Swedish National Forest Agency, the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency or the county administrative boards. Municipalities can also sign conservation agreements with landowners. The purpose of nature conservation agreements is to develop and maintain high nature values. The protection is limited in time and weaker than area protection according to the Environmental Code. 2021: Areas for nature conservation agreements of the type “ekoparker” are under investigation.

observations

Number

Overlapping objects can be found in statistics on the number of protected areas.

Number

Number of objects refers to the number of unique objects in decisions. The number for 'Natura 2000' and 'time-limited protection: nature conservation agreements' up to and including the 2020 statistics referred to the number of individual areas in data files (the number of polygons), which were more objects than in decision-making documents.
