Nordic nature - trends towards 2010

"Nordic Nature – trends towards 2010" was a Nordic communication project on biological diversity financed by the Nordic Council of Ministers. The project published fact sheets on the status, trends of biological diversity, and threats to it, as well as success stories and best practices in protecting biodiversity.

All Nordic countries were participating; Finland, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Denmark, Greenland and the Faroe Islands.

The international community – including all the Nordic countries – is through various decisions committed to halt the decline of the biological diversity. This target has also been written into the Nordic Environmental Action Plan 2009–2012.
