BECC coordinator Henrik Smith about the forest fire area in DN Debatt

CEC director Henrik Smith, is one of the researchers behind a debate article in Dagens Nyheter on September 8. The researchers are arguing that there is a unique possibility to use the areas that was damaged in the fire to create a new protected forest area.

"The forest fire in Västmanland had disastrous consequences in human terms. But the fire opens at the same time up the possibility to create the largest protected forest area in southern Scandinavia to a low cost."
