As preserving nature is important in the fight against climate change, Norway is taking it to the next level by creating 10 new national parks. The country is to create four new parklands, upgrade six landscape conservation areas to national parks, and expand eight national parks that are already designated.
“Loss of biodiversity due to development and intervention is one of the biggest challenges in the world, but also in Norway, this bit-by-bit development is taking on more and more nature. Therefore, the government now wants to initiate more protection processes where both the local municipalities and the Norwegian Environment Agency recommend that a national park be built,” said Minister of Climate and the Environment of Norway Sveinung Rotevatn in a press release.
