Naturuppdraget på Engelska

More than 100 different challenges connected to wildlife await you. These are divided into 5 categories (Äventyr (Adventures), Naturquiz (Nature Quiz), Pysseluppdrag, (Practical exercises), Prestationuppdrag (Mental and Physical exercises) and Hjälteinsats (Good deeds)) with  5 degrees of difficulty (Easy, Medium, Difficult, Challenging, Performance). Each of the challenges, when completed successfully, will earn points. 

You can complete some of the challenges all year round and others at specific times of year. Some of the challenges can be completed at home (so weather is not a factor) and others can only be completed at specific places.

Look at the challenges on the opening page by clicking the button Sök bland uppdrag. If you have a special area of interest, you can enter the Swedish word in the field which reads Sök med fritext. Try insekt or fågel. Or you can just browse down the page and click on the challenge that appeals to you.

You can reduce the number of challenges that you see by filtering by Uppdragstyp (type of challenge), Svårighetsgrad (degree of difficulty), Hela året (time of year) and Var i Sverige (location). You can also type in a search word if you know which challenge you are looking for.

About BirdLife Sweden

BirdLife Sverige is Sweden’s national ornithological society. It was formed in 1945 under the name Sveriges Ornitologiska Förening but is now called BirdLife Sverige to show that we are the Swedish partner in the global BirdLife International partnership.

The daily work of the society includes research, particularly at Ottenby bird observatory on Öland where we ring mark birds and keep statistics concerning their migration routes. We also work with bird conservation, by actively keeping an inventory of areas that are important for birds and biological diversity throughout the entire country, and by lobbying politicians and those in power to take care of our environment and nature and all that live in it. At the same time, of course, we do all that we can to encourage more people to be interested in birds. If you would like to be a nature hero by supporting our work, you can become a member of BirdLife Sverige, where the whole family can share one membership.

There are 25 regional societies connected to BirdLife Sverige and they all conduct research and protect birds at a regional level. As a member of BirdLife Sverige you support our work for bird conservation, research, and ornithology in general.
