“Jobbsatsning of the forest ends with the new budget,”
“A bet to get more new arrivals in the job and a national mapping of areas with rare or endangered plants and animals is interrupted, with M and KD’s budget. Money is not assigned.”
” I am proud of the job that we have done, says the national board director general Herman Sundqvist.”
“the Forestry commission has been running a social action program that called the natural feeling of the job with the aim to get the newly arrived and the long-term unemployed closer to the labour market.”
“– They have made various efforts. It can be anything from dikesröjningar on roads, restore picnic areas, maintain trails, keep it clean and clean up in different areas, to handle brushcutter, chainsaw, ” says Herman Sundqvist.”
“Around 1,500 people, plus part – time employees and part-time employees of the authority have been involved in the initiative. But, with the new budget is the employment out at the end of the year and will not be extended.”
” I’m proud of the way that the Forestry commission had an earthy job, that 1 600 people have come into contact with this action. To rig it, this assignment has been a pretty big project, ” says Herman Sundqvist.”
“He does not want to write a review for the cut but notes that the authority comply with the politicians’ will. At the same time, he thinks that you have accomplished the mission in a good way. Now comes a part of the naturarbetena to be deprived.”
” I think everyone is in agreement that it is good that this information has become carried out.”
“The Swedish forest agency was given the task of nature-oriented jobs in 2018 in cooperation with the employment service and the allocation of low on the 120 million per year.”
“the Agency also received an appropriation of 20 million sek per year for ten years to make the nation-wide inventory of forests with great importance for plants and animals, so-called key biotopes. It can be about areas that are important for biodiversity.”
“In the budget that the Conservatives and Christian democrats voted through with the support of The sweden democrats are not funding left, and the action is interrupted.”
“It does not mean that The Swedish forest agency completely stops registering key biotopes and the methodology developed during the year will continue to be of great benefit, according to Herman Sundqvist. Also, the cooperation with, inter alia, the forestry sector around the key habitats will continue.”
“In what extent the changes will mean layoffs is unclear. The forestry commission has previously taken the height for the budgetförändringar with fixed-term contracts and short-term leases of cars and premises.”
“the budgetary decision also reduces the compensation that goes to the forest owners when, for example, national parks, nature reserves and biotopskyddsområden set up, with two-thirds to 100 million.”
“A key biotope is an area in the woods which, with their high conservation value, have a very great importance for the forest’s plants and animals. In a key biotope, it may be threatened, or rare species that need this area for their survival.”
“the Government took a 2018 decided on a mission to The Swedish forest agency on a new nationwide inventory of key biotopes in the forest.”
