Daily regulations impose unreasonable restrictions on landowners across the country. The government believes that protected species regulations can be limited.

The government wants to change the regulations on nationally protected species so that land use, such as agriculture and forestry, is not hindered.

The government also wants forestry not to be hindered due to the presence of species such as the knärot, which is currently protected and is found in large numbers in parts of the country.

Therefore, an investigation is being set up, which will submit proposals for new regulations on national protection and a rulebook for landowners' rights to compensation.

"The current situation imposes unreasonable restrictions on landowners across our country. We believe that only the most valuable species and the overall national population can significantly affect, should be able to prevent reasonable land use," says Agriculture Minister Peter Kullgren (KD) in a press release.

The investigation will be completed by December 31st of this year.
