List of national parks of Sweden

The goal of the national park service is to create a system of protected areas that represent all the distinct natural regions of the country.

[1] As of 2020[update] there are 30 national parks in Sweden, comprising a total area of 743,238 hectares (1,836,580 acres).

[2] According to the EPA, Swedish national parks must represent unique landscape types and be effectively protected and used for research, recreation, and tourism without damaging nature.

[4][5] Many of the northern parks are part of the Laponian area, one of Sweden's UNESCO World Heritage Sites due to its preserved natural landscape and habitat for the native reindeer-herding Sami people.

[11] In 2008, after investigations and interviews with the participating counties, the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency laid down a plan to establish 13 new national parks in the near future.
