"Calling anywhere that has trees a forest is like calling a zoo a savannah because there are lions there." - Marcus Westberg Photography on deforestation in Sweden CreativeMornings/STO #wilderness

Northern Sweden may have a bit of a mosquito problem… 😳😳😳

När jag pratar med företrädare för regeringen säger de att "Regeringen anser att skyddsvärda skogar inte ska avverkas”. Bra så klart. Samma sak säger de flesta andra partier. Certifieringssystemen har det som krav. Hur kommer det sig då att skyddsvärda skogar ändå avverkas?

A view worth building a tower for, apparently. Clear-cutting, it seems, is not only sustainable and good for biodiversity, but also beautiful. 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️🙄 #weirdtourismsights #visitsweden

Ganska anmärkningsvärda siffror. Var är regeringens stödmiljarder för att utveckla/släppa fram/tillåta naturbaserad turism i Sverige? Så fort någon bara säger ordet gruva så rasar miljarderna in. Vad med världens största industri, besöksnäringen?

Jag och Elin Åberg följde sökandet efter den som troligen är borta för alltid från Sverige. dn.se/sverige/vem-do…

Nu kan amerikanska forskare visa att gamla skogar inte ”hamnar i balans” och slutar ta upp kol om de inte kalhuggs, som vissa hävdar. Skogar fortsatte öka sitt kolupptag kontinuerligt i 8 000 år – tills de började avverkas. Läs ⁦Jörn Spolander⁩ dn.se/sverige/ny-stu…

from Henry Wismayer and Marcus Westberg Photography, this is the kind of piece that makes me genuinely enjoy being a sometimes-editor, while simultaneously feeling a sudden urge to quit both writing and photography because, I mean, come on, look at this! lonelyplanet.com/articles/alger…

“Only 3% of Sweden’s forestry doesn’t involve clearcutting." That should be "pretty shocking to anyone who hears it, given Sweden’s reputation as a leader of so-called green practices,” Staffan Widstrand & Marcus Westberg Photography tells Mongabay's Erik Hoffner is on Bluesky: bit.ly/3TpgwcO

An in-depth interview with Yours Truly and Marcus Westberg Photography in Mongabay about Sweden’s totally un-sustainable forestry practices. Pure de-forestation. Please share widely! Anna-Caren Sätherberg Ulf Kristersson #deforestation #svpol

A lone defunct birdhouse stands on a trunk in the middle of deforested land in Sweden. Marcus Westberg Photography captured this barren scene to highlight what logging considered “sustainable” actually looks like in practice.

#Bhutan was a bit beautiful, to say the least. Wow.

Great article/photos by Henry Wismayer Marcus Westberg Photography The Washington Post! Excerpt: «By '80s, Karakalpakstan suffered from some of worst cancer & infant mortality rates in Soviet Union». More than 40Y have passed, Uzbekistan has received billions $, but almost nothing has changed.

Read our new Esri Conservation Story Map - "See the Forest for the Trees" - exposing Sweden's green myth of sustainable forestry with iLCP Senior Fellows Staffan Widstrand and Marcus Westberg Photography storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/c3c869… ArcGIS StoryMaps #deforestation #cop27 #savetheplanet #climatechange

Thanks ILCP, for using Staffan Widstrand s and Marcus Westberg Photography images for this story! We are working on documenting what Swedens "forestry" and Swedens original forest actually looks like, today. The "forestry" is a pure disaster. Destruction at the same level as in the Amazon.

Ylva Engström Tänk att kalhyggeskramare alltud tycker att Marcus Westberg Photography bilder är ”orepresentativa”, när de visar EXAKT hur det ser ut i våra fd skogar. Ni tycker också att det ser fördjävligt ut alltså? Tänk att ingen hittills visat mig ”representativa” bilder på hur gulliga hyggena är?…

The Giraffe Conservation Foundation recently provided veterinary support for our GPS satellite collaring and tagging efforts of 13 giraffe species in Boma & Badingilo - including 11 endangered Nubian giraffes. 📸: Marcus Westberg Photography
