The Swedish Environmental Protection Agency’s book Biodiversity in Sweden is a comprehensive, up-to-the-minute survey of the state of the country’s flora, fauna and ecosystems. Biodiversity in Sweden describes the conditions for plant and animal life in different types of Swedish landscape – forests, mires, mountains, farmland, inland waters, coasts and seas, and the built environment. As well as the present situation in these environments, the book explores how biodiversity has changed, what threats it faces, and what is being done to conserve it. Accessibly written, and with over 250 photographs, maps and diagrams, Biodiversity in Sweden brings the subject to life. In its 280 pages, readers with an interest in the environment, whether it be professional or personal, will find a wealth of useful information.
Biodiversity in Sweden is the latest volume in the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency’s Monitor series. It is a sequel to the ‘country study’ on biological diversity published in 1994. It is being published simultaneously in English and Swedish. As well as being a valuable source of information for the professional or general reader, Biodiversity in Sweden is suitable as a university textbook and as additional reading in the final years of secondary education.
Also available in Swedish, Biologisk mångfald i Sverige. Monitor 22.
