The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation (SSNC) is the biggest nature conservation and environmental organisation in Sweden with 180 000 members and 274 local branches across the whole country.

The SSNC was established in 1909. At that time an elite group was concerned about the increasing degradation of Sweden's nature and wildlife due to rapid industrialisation. Until a few decades ago, the activities of the SSNC were primarily focused on national, i e Swedish, environmental issues and traditional conservationist concern

Our work on behalf of threatened species consists of spreading knowledge about environmental dangers and endangered species, suggesting solutions, and lobbying the government. We also work actively with protection of several threatened species and their specific habitats.
