We apply pressure to politicians, influence legislation, inform – including via our own magazines, books and press material – and organise seminars, debates and conferences. The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation has been Sweden’s most influential environmental organisation for decades and currently has around 203,000 members. Climate change, seas and fishing, forests, agriculture and environmental toxins are our priority areas of work, both nationally and globally.

For many years we have also been working on our species projects: the pilgrim falcon, the white-tailed eagle and the white-backed woodpecker. In addition, we are behind the world’s toughest environmental label, Good Environmental Choice.

Among other things, our work has contributed to:

• A ban on phosphates in laundry products
• Mt. Städjan in Dalarna being protected from exploitation
• Congestion charges being introduced in Stockholm
• Many vulnerable forests being saved
• Mangroves being replanted in a number of places in Latin America and Africa
• Triclosan toothpaste disappearing from many supermarket shelves
• White-tailed eagles and pilgrim falcons increasing in numbers
