" In a time when the environmental field is characterized by a lot of talk and little action, I am happy to participate in Naturarvets' work to protect the few remaining and oh so valuable Swedish natural forests.
Pia Björstrand | Vice Chair
Lawyer with a heart that is passionate about life on earth. She is spokesperson for Klimataktion, Chairman of End Ecocide Sweden and involved in the Swedish Society for Nature Conservation, the Transition Movement and Naturens Rättigheter. She has extensive experience of board work in companies and non-profit organizations. In her spare time, Pia loves singing, dancing, hanging out with family and friends and forest bathing - i.e. experiencing the forest in deep presence with all the senses. "I grew up in the deep forests of Småland and mourn the fact that they have become fewer and fewer. As an environmentalist, I see a great need to protect the few remaining natural forests that exist and am therefore very happy to participate in the important work of the Natural Heritage.
Adam Bergström | Full member
20 years old and is studying history of ideas and art history in Stockholm and Paris. He has had a great interest in forests since childhood and has been active in the Field Biologists for several years. In the forest he finds peace in the hectic pace that characterizes our time, adolescence and especially everyday life in a big city. It is a refuge for him, but also a source of wonder and different moods. Another great interest is literature and philosophy, and not least through Harry Martinson's texts he has experienced the richness of seeing nature reflected in poetry and prose. He is also involved in the Harry Martinson Society. Adam is deeply concerned about the carelessness of humanity's approach to the planet. "In Naturarvet I see action and concrete measures to counter short-termism at the expense of nature's timeless values.
Axel Smith | Ordinary member
Marathon runner and semi-retired chess player. Has spent a month on the train between Lund and the temporary home in the Pyrenees, now usually vacations in the cottage in northern Skåne with two eternal oaks on the plot and full of clearings around. He has a snail phobia, is co-founder of Chess for Future, climate manager in the Swedish Chess Federation and a dumpster diver. You don't have to look out into space to feel small, just go out into the forest. There, the time span is different from the human one. If you lease land "in perpetuity" to an electricity plant, the contract will still expire after 50 years. The forest preserved via Naturarvet is protected from human impact for time and eternity.
Moa Pettersson | Substitute
A trained biologist, she works as an environmental analyst at SLU Artdatabanken. Since the fall of 2018, she has been the spokesperson for Biodiversity Day, May 22. Leisure time is spent being outside and working on her knowledge of species, among her favorite activities is turning over logs and stones. Sits on the board of the Halland Botanical Association and the national board of the Swedish Botanical Association. Writes regularly for the popular science magazines Yrfän and Vilda växter. For me, the work of Natural Heritage is about the fact that we must protect valuable ecosystems for future generations, whether it be grandchildren, ants or feather mosses.
Momo Ideäng | Alternate
Entrepreneur, hammock enthusiast, fire artist and nature lover. Among other things, Momo runs Momo Jord, an online store that inspires hammock camping. Momo Jord has been sponsoring the click for a few years, which is how contact with Naturarvet began. Momo thrives best in the forest and especially in old, real forest where nature has been allowed to take its course. He likes hammocking in beautiful places - rather than sleeping in a bed - and sees the forest as his source of inspiration and recovery. Involvement in Naturarvet is a natural fit for Momo, given his passion for the forest. In ten years, Sweden's last unprotected old-growth forest could be cut down. If there are real forests left to hang out in, we must do what we can to protect them. On the board of Naturarvets, I can contribute my perspective as an entrepreneur, problem solver and nature lover with a passion for old trees - especially really old oaks.
