| | The Last of The Last: NGO Demands Concerning the Old-growth Forests of Fennoscandia |
 | | The remaining old-growth forests of Fennoscandia should not be subject to any human activity (e.g., forestry) that damages their nature conservation values regarding biodiversity, structure and ecological function. |
 | | Protection of the remaining old-growth forests of Fennoscandia will not be sufficient to ensure the long-term survival of all the endangered forest species, but it is one of the vital steps. |
 | | If the Nordic countries are to meet their international commitments, such as the UN Convention on Biological Diversity and the Ministerial Conference on the Protection of Forests in Europe, there must be a combination of land area protection, increased consideration of nature conservation in forestry operations and active measures for the restoration of biological diversity. |
