Announcing the recipient of the Save the Forest Award: Linda, a passionate young biologist hailing from Jämtland! Linda's profound affection for all forest-dwelling species, particularly small kryptogams, has made her a true champion of biodiversity.
From her early years, Linda's connection with nature blossomed, leading her to dedicate almost all her free time to studying various species in diverse forest habitats. With a special focus on lichens and mosses, she explores old growth forests, often accompanied by friends or in solitary communion with nature. Hours spent before the microscope further enrich her understanding.
Yet, Linda's impact extends beyond personal exploration. She fervently shares her knowledge with fellow enthusiasts, igniting a passion for biodiversity among those eager to learn in their leisure time or professionally connected to nature. Linda envisions a world where more individuals discover the joy of exploring biodiversity, encouraging others to engage with Sweden's remarkable NGOs, each specializing in different organism groups.
Linda, congratulations on this well-deserved recognition, and thank you for your tireless efforts to conserve and celebrate our precious forests!
