Mellan 2003 och 2019 har nästan en fjärdedel av Sveriges sista gamla oskyddade naturliga skogar försvunnit. Med nuvarande skövlingstakt kommer dessa ekologiskt värdefulla skogar att vara borta om 50 år. Det visar en studie av bland andra forskare från Lunds och Umeå universitet. En mindre del av Sveriges oskyddade produktiva skogar består av gammal skog som sannolikt aldrig tidigare kalhuggits. De
