Protected areas: national parks
Description
The purpose of a national park is to “keep a larger contiguous area of a particular landscape type in its natural state or in substantially unchanged state” (from the Environmental Code). The state owns all the land in a national park. The national parks shall consist of representative landscape types that are preserved in a natural state, but they must also be scenic or unique environments that can provide strong natural experiences. Sweden has 30 national parks.
