Birdlife Sverige

BirdLife Sverige is the national Swedish bird association and a partner of BirdLife International, a global network of environmental NGOs active in over 100 countries. Through 25 regional associations, BirdLife Sverige carries out conservation work to protect habitats, save species, and address the nature and climate crisis. 

Sweden has lost much of its wetlands due to extensive drainage over the last 150 years, with severe impacts on biodiversity.  

This project aims to expand wetlands, particularly in agricultural landscapes and forest habitats, to boost biodiversity and reduce nutrient loss into rivers and the Baltic Sea. This includes creating new wet meadows that support the shoreline bird communities, including endangered species such as the southern dunlin and black-tailed godwit.
