National map layers with high value areas

Via this portal you can find information on "High conservation value landscapes" (HCVL or Värdetrakter). HCVL are areas in the landscape with high density of biodiversity core areas of a certain habitat type, such as grasslands or deciduous forests. Not all parts of a HCVL have high conservation value. However, the higher density of biodiversity core areas means that the conditions for an ecologically functional landscape with a rich flora and fauna are higher within the HCVL than outside, where biodiversity core areas are more sparsely spaced.
