National parks Decisions to set up national parks are made by the Riksdag and the Government. The Swedish Environmental Protection Agency is responsible for the information for decision-making and planning of the national parts, among other things via the National Parks Plan for Sweden. A large contiguous area of a particular landscape type can be established as a national park, according to the Environmental Code, Chapter 7 Section 2. The area should be in its 'natural state or essentially unchanged'. As a prerequisite, the government must own the land. Nature reserves Nature reserves are formed by the county councils and the municipalities, according to Chapter 7 Sections 4 – 6 of the Environmental Code. In Sweden and many other countries, forming nature reserves is one of the most common ways to protect valuable nature in a sustainable way. Nature reserves can be formed according to Chapter 7 Section 4 of the Environmental Code. Nature conservation area Conservation areas as a protection form were introduced in the conservation act of 1974 and were discontinued with the introduction of the Environmental Code in 1999. These areas are mainly found in marine environments and forest areas intended for outdoor activities. The areas that were established are considered to be nature reserves according to the Environmental Code. However, legislation limits this protection a great deal, because the regulations must not be so restrictive that ongoing land use in the area is hampered. Therefore, there are reasons to distinguish conservation areas in the statistical presentation even in the future when we present protection of forests. Productive forest Productive forest land for years 2010 and 2015 is defined as land that is suitable for forestry and that is not significantly used for other purposes, based on FAOs definition. Production is at least 1 m³sk per hectare and year.
At the national and regional levels for years 2010 and 2015, figures are based on data from the Swedish National forest inventory. Regarding municipal level and years 2010 and 2015, data on total forest land from the Swedish National forest inventory has been distributed to municipal level according to the municipal shares of the forest layer of the National property map, which, in turn, has then been divided into productive forest and improductive forest, respectively, according to the municipal shares of productive forest and non-productive forest of the Forest real estate assessment register.
Area of productive forest for 2005 and earlier years is derived from estimations on the traditional land use class productive forest land according to the Swedish National forest inventory.
Sources at national and county levels, 2005 and earlier are the Swedish National forest inventory 2005, 2000 (national total), 1999 (counties) and 1995; and the Agricultural census 1992, 1981 and 1951. Sources at municipal level, 2005 and earlier are the Real estate tax assessment register 2005, 2001, 1996; and the Agricultural census 1992 and 1981.

year

2020

NMD 1.1 has been used in the production of statistics from the reference year 2020. This leads to changes compared with the previous year´s statistics. The changes entail an increase in the quality of the statistics that describe habitat types within protected nature, primarily with regard to the habitat types forest land and wetlands.
